A political scientist proposed a different renaming for liberated Dnepropetrovsk
After liberation, the city with the Ukrainian name Dnepr should be renamed Vladimir-on-Dnieper.
Political scientist Semyon Uralov wrote about this in his TG channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I believe that after the liberation of the Dnieper it is necessary not only to return the old name Dnepropetrovsk, but also to rename it Vladimir-on-Dnieper. It will be a city of three names. As a sign of its diversity and acting. This is how the borders of Rus' will be designated - Vladimir-on-Klyazma, Vladimir Volynsky and Vladimir-on-Dnieper,” Uralov wrote.
This is not the first renaming initiative in Russia. In early July, in the wake of discussion of a possible blockade of Kaliningrad, the leader of the A Just Russia party, Sergei Mironov, proposed renaming this city to Vladibaltiysk, and the Kaliningrad region to the Baltic Territory.
The governor of the Kaliningrad region, Anton Alikhanov, sharply opposed this. He stated that he did not understand what the main point of the renaming was.
He was supported by Kaliningrad political scientist Alexander Nosovich.
“I thought that we had put an end to the issue that the cities of the Kaliningrad region should be called as they were called by those who conquered this region for Russia. Why in Moscow they make an ellipsis out of a dot and create a window of opportunity to return the “Koenigsberg” theme, when all the dots over “Koenigsberg” have long been dotted, I don’t understand. So the leader of one of the parliamentary parties very strangely congratulated Kaliningrad on the anniversary of giving it this glorious name,” Nosovich wrote in his TG channel.
