In Mykolaiv, the toponymic commission proposed new options for renaming 23 more streets as part of the decolonization process.
This was discussed on Wednesday, October 25, at the regular meeting of the commission, writes «NikVesti».
Thus, the following names were approved by the quorum participants:
In Velyka Korenyha:
In Varvarivka:
In Matviivka:
The idea of naming one of the streets of Matviivka after Bohdan Bandera came from the members of the toponymy commission with the aim of intensifying the participation of the residents of the district in the process of renaming.
— And let's name it in honor of Bohdan Bandera, you know how interesting it will be. The man led the National Resistance Movement, and, accordingly, died here, in Mykolaiv Oblast. Perhaps the dissonance will lead to activation of their creativity and the community will propose its own name. This will be an impetus to the activation of the local community, — suggested the head of the toponymic commission Oleksandr Trygub.
As previously reported, the MY ART creative platform analyzed 1,200 names of streets, alleys, avenues, parks, squares and squares of the city, according to the current Register of toponyms of the city of Mykolaiv. As a result of this work, they plan to rename 259 street names associated with the aggressor state.
We will remind you that back in April, the Mykolaiv City Council adopted a new regulation regarding the renaming of toponyms — the authorities plan to get rid of all Russian names in the city.
Also, the deputy commission on legality approved a new version of the regulation on the activities of the commission on toponymy, which was engaged in street renaming.
In particular, Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych reported that there was a commission on toponymy in the city, which was engaged in street renaming, but as of today, its composition needs to be updated.
However, in August it became known that the toponymic commission has not yet started working. Due to the withdrawal of one of the candidates, the deputies of the city council had to update the composition of the commission.
At the session on September 7, deputies of the Mykolaiv City Council approved the new composition of the toponymic commission. Major General Dmytro Marchenko was included in it, but with the note «by agreement».
We will also remind you that Major General Dmytro Marchenko, who led the defense of Mykolaiv at the beginning of the full-scale war, opposed the renaming of one of the city's streets after him.
Previously, according to the interim results of a survey within the project «Decolonization: rethinking the imperial past in the public space of Mykolaiv», the name of Dmytro Marchenko became one of those in whose honor Mykolaiv residents propose to rename the streets of the city. The offer was submitted by 32 respondents.
