Update on Decommunization Maps in Ukraine

The public organization «Decommunization. Ukraine» has released a new version of maps indicating the number of streets that need to be renamed across Ukraine as part of decommunization efforts. This list includes 228 streets in the Odesa region.

The Odesa region ranks fifth among all regions in Ukraine for the number of streets that need to be renamed during the decommunization process. The leader is the Zaporizhzhia region, where 1001 streets require renaming.

«This list is not exhaustive, as there are streets named after local communist figures that many people are unaware of», the organization noted, adding that the map will be updated as new information becomes available.

It's important to mention that there are regions where, according to activists, the renaming process is already complete, such as the Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions.

The YouTube channel «Odesa Life» has launched a new series titled «Streets of Odesa: Then and Now», which tells the stories of people after whom the streets of Odesa and the surrounding areas are named.

Previously, the «Decommunization. Ukraine» project published a map of monuments and plaques dedicated to Pushkin that have yet to be dismantled. According to their reports, the largest number is located in Odesa. Additionally, there has been a proposal to rename Mark Twain Park in Odesa.
