Important news from Kharkiv region

As it turned out, there are about 260 such toponyms in the city. This is twice as many as the names that are associated with Ukraine or specifically with the Kharkiv region. Now all this will be changed.
Kemerovo, Magnitogorsk, Narofominsk, and Moscow are still immortalized on the city map… But Lvovskaya and Nikolaevskaya streets not in Kharkov. Before the start of a full-scale war… obviously, they did not see this as a big problem. So far, everything has changed,” wrote Maria Takhatulova, head of the North-Eastern Department of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, researcher of Kharkiv toponymy.
