Renaming of streets in the capital

In June of this year, a survey was conducted in the “Kyiv Digital” mobile application. Residents of the capital expressed their opinion regarding the renaming of almost 300 streets in Kyiv, the names of which are associated with the USSR and the aggressor country.

According to the public, the streets of the capital bear the names of famous activists, journalists, artists, scientists, etc. Taking into account the results of the survey, the capital authorities are gradually making decisions about renaming streets.

In particular, on December 8, deputies of the capital’s city council passed a decision on renaming Druzhba Narodiv Boulevard in Kyiv to the Boulevard named after the founder of the Ukrainian Army, Mykola Mikhnovskyi.

And at the end of November, Ilya Ehrenburg Street was renamed to Liliya Lobanova Street in the Holosiivsky District of Kyiv.
