According to him, “the Bolsheviks spared no one when renaming these cities.”
“The Bolsheviks erased the historical names, the ancient ones, and called these cities Dneprodzerzhinsk, Krasnoarmeysk and so on. Didn't they erase our historical memory? And now we have to put up with this? No, this is important! Indeed, all Soviet toponymy needs to be changed. And the scandalous streets – Dzerzhinsky, Kirov – should be renamed,” Shukhevych said.
