On September 19, 281 deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted in favor of a new resolution to change the names of 327 settlements. This applies to Russified place names or those containing Russian and Soviet narratives.

This was reported in Telegram by MPs Yaroslav Zhelezniak and Oleksii Honcharenko. The updated version of the document does not contain such settlements: Yuzhne, Yuzhnoukrainsk, Pavlohrad, Synelnykove, Pervomaisk.

The fact is that they should be renamed by separate resolutions. Several options for new names will be proposed for each.

The renaming, according to the already voted document, will affect settlements and districts of Vinnytsia, Volyn, Dnipropetrovs'k, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zakarpattia, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Sumy, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Kherson, Khmelnytsky, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv regions.

The names dedicated to Moscow figures will be changed: Pushkino, Michurin, Maxim Gorky, Kutuzivka, Suvorovo, Nekrasovo, etc.

The renaming proposals include many names associated with Soviet holidays or symbols. For example, these are May Day, Pershotravenka, Pervomaiske, Pershotravneve, Pershotravensk, Mayivka, etc.
