Its founding congress was held on October 8, 2014. Boris Litvinov was proclaimed chairman of the party. He said the Communists would support Alexander Zakharchenko, current Prime Minister of Donetsk People's Republic, to win the Donbass general elections, 2014 for premiership.

According to media reports, Boris Litvinov is a chairman of a branch of the Communist Party of Ukraine in Donetsk.[3]

The Communists have endorsed Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko’s candidature at the 2 November elections for premiership.[2] In these elections the Communists were banned from participating because it "made too many mistakes" in its submitted documents.[4]
