The proposed name has nothing to do with the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny.
The Kharkiv Regional Council appealed to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine with a request to change the name of the village of Vatutyno to Zaluzhnoye. This was reported on Tuesday, February 14, on the page of the Kharkiv Regional Council on the social network Facebook.
“The village of Novovodolazhskaya community refused the name, which is the name of the Soviet general,” the message said.
The report says that changing the name of the Vatutino community to Zaluzhnoye was supported by 74 out of 95 local representatives.
“Many thought that the new name was in honor of the commander in chief. Even I was the same when I first saw the proposal. We started receiving responses from various authorities. But in fact the name means “beyond the meadow.” the Olkhovatka River,” explained Alexander Yesin, the head of the village.
Among the options for renaming are the following proposals: Ten, Light, Bereginovka, Forest, Green, Heroic, Peaceful, Gordeevka, Slavyanskoye, Kalinovka, Kalinovoe, Radimirovka, Zoryanskoye, Mirolyubovka.
In accordance with the law, now this decision must be voted and supported by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Recall that representatives of the Kyiv City Council at a meeting on Thursday renamed another 31 streets, lanes, avenues and boulevards, whose names are associated with Russia and the Soviet past.
Earlier on Thursday, it became known that a monument to Soviet General Nikolai Vatutin, which was in a park near the Verkhovna Rada, was dismantled in Kyiv.
