Yesterday, the session of the Drohobych City Council decided to rename Peremohy Street in the village of Mykhailovychi – this street was the last on the list of place names in the Drohobych community to be renamed in the process of de-Russification.<\/p>\n
In accordance with the decision, Peremohy Street was renamed to Obshyryna Street. This decision was recommended by a special commission on de-Sovietization measures, based on consultations held by the starosta with the village residents, who chose this historical name for the street.<\/p>\n
The previous session of the city council renamed Myru Street in the village of Rychtychi to Defenders of Ukraine Street, Myru Street in the village of Mykhaylevychi to Kutna Street, Peremohy Street in the village of Stupnytsia to Ivan Franko Street, and Myru Street in the village of Ranevychi to Lyubomyr Huzar Street.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, these decisions are made in compliance with the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn the Condemnation of the Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) Totalitarian Regimes in Ukraine and the Prohibition of Propaganda of Their Symbols.\u201d<\/p>\n
The renaming of Myru and Peremohy streets was based on explanations received from the Luhansk Oblast State Administration. They stated that the place names \u201cMir\u201d and \u201cPeremoha\u201d were of great importance for Soviet propaganda. The official letter also stated that if no decision was made to rename streets or other place names of settlements by April 27, 2024, such renaming would be carried out by order of the head of the Lviv regional administration, without taking into account the opinions of the community residents.<\/p>\n
The Drohobych community managed to complete all renaming within the deadline and got rid of all post-Soviet place names.<\/p>\n
