“If we are interested in the opinion of the people when renaming cities and villages, we will lose history and bring everything to insanity,” the writer believes. – residents of Pid Dubom street in Lviv (in Soviet times it was called Cosmonauts. – ed.) do not want to live under the Oak. Don't give a damn about this historical name. Why should they decide anything? The masses are basically illiterate and don’t know history. They believe that the Dniester is because someone erased the days there, and the Beskids because a demon cast them.”
