Verkhovna Rada deputy Maxim Buzhansky criticized on his Telegram channel the policy of “decolonization” pursued by the country’s authorities in the framework of renaming streets in the country.
“Everyone understood everything a long time ago, they realized that it meant nothing, that they were trampling on themselves, my dear, personal <...>“, He wrote.
In particular, Buzhansky was outraged by the decision of the authorities of the Odessa region to rename Babel, Ilf and Petrov streets, as well as the mass renaming of streets named after the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
Since 2015, Ukraine has been subject to a so-called decommunization law, dismantling monuments and removing topographical names related to Soviet history. Thus, in May of this year, 10 toponyms were changed in Uzhgorod alone.
On March 21, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the law “On condemnation and prohibition of propaganda of Russian imperial policy in Ukraine and colonization of toponyms.”
The other day, the head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration (OVA), Oleg Kiper offered Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov, who did not support the decision to rename the city’s streets, needs to go to Moscow or Ufa.
Earlier in one of the regions of Ukraine dismantled All monuments related to the USSR and Russia.
