Rada renames population areas in Crimea as part of decommunization campaign
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has renamed 75 population areas in occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea and city of Sevastopol as a part of decommunization campaign.
Some 255 parliamentarians backed the respective resolution at the parliament sitting on Thursday.
The parliament considered recommendations from the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory and renamed 5 districts, one city and 69 villages of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.
According to the document, Kirovsky district was renamed to Isliamteretsky district, Krasnoperekopsky to Perekopsky, and the town of Krasnoperekopsk to Yany Kapu.
The changes will take effect from the moment the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea is returned to the jurisdiction of Ukraine.
