In particular, the public insisted on naming Kantemir Lane after the co-founder of the group “Dead Piven” of the City of Barbara. This proposal was not supported, and the lane was named Privetlivy.
Also, renaming in honor of Levko Lukyanenko, Symon Petliura, Yevhen Konovalets, and Alexander Klushin did not find support.
Gagarin Avenue, one of the city’s key arteries. Instead of being named after Hero of Ukraine Levko Lukyanenko, it is now Aerokosmichesky Avenue. Even though Kharkov already has a street called Kosmicheskaya. […] For now, we will call streets by friendly and other spineless-neutral names instead of immortalizing worthy Ukrainians and state organizations? – wrote the chairman of the subcommittee on decolonization Roman Lozinsky.
On July 26, three metro stations and 48 streets were de-Russified in Kharkov.
