A small victory was won in the court to cancel Bandera's renaming of streets in Kyiv
In the court to cancel the renaming of streets in Kyiv in honor of Nazi collaborators from the OUN-UPA, a small victory was won, human rights activist Elena Berezhnaya reported in her blog.
“Today the Administrative Court continued to consider our claim about the illegality of renaming Moskovsky Avenue and the name of General Vatutin. And we have another intermediate Victory!
Finally, the court included the Kyiv Veterans Organization among the participants in the process. As evidence, the court added to the case materials part of the decision of the Nuremberg Tribunal, the interrogation protocol of the Third Reich officer Stolz, the conclusion of the Canadian scientist Polishchuk and many other archival documents, which indicate that Bandera and Shukhevych fall under the laws condemning the National Socialist (Nazi) ) totalitarian regime and about the perpetuation of the Victory over Nazism.
Therefore, the deputies of the Kyiv City Council had no legal grounds to rename these avenues! I am confident in our Victory!” – Berezhnaya announces.
As PolitNavigator reported, Berezhnaya was previously searched by the SBU, and in addition, Ukrainian nationalists have repeatedly committed unpunished attacks on the human rights activist.
In 2016, the Kyiv City Council renamed Moskovsky Avenue in honor of the Nazi collaborator leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists Stepan Bandera.
In 2017, deputies voted to rename the avenue, named in honor of the liberator of the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, Soviet General Vatutin. Now it bears the name of Hitler's officer Roman Shukhevych.
