Interestingly, this initiative was put forward by Kyiv City Council deputy Denys Moskal. Following deputy logic, he would have to change his own surname as well?
In addition, Moskal spoke in favor of excluding Moscow and St. Petersburg from the list of Kyiv's twin cities.
The long-suffering Moscow Square
Head of the Kyiv City Council commission on culture and tourism, Dmytro Nikulshyn, believes that renaming streets with "Moscow" names is a futile exercise. "It was not Moscow that opposed Ukraine, but the Kremlin and Putin personally, and Muscovites have absolutely nothing to do with it. If there were a Kremlin or Putin street in Kyiv, I would demand its renaming," he argues his position.
According to Nikulshyn, the only relevant renaming for Kyiv now is Institutska Street to Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred.
