/ Events /

The process of renaming toponyms associated with the Russian and Soviet regimes continues in the capital.

Now continues electronic voting in the "Kyiv Digital" application, where you can support the renaming of Bagration Street in honor of the photographer Max Levin, who was killed during the hostilities in the Kyiv region. 

The photojournalist filmed the events of the war started by Russia on the territory of Ukraine. During the first days of the war, Levin visited at least seven hotspots in Kyiv and Kharkiv regions and documented the consequences of the terrorist country's invasion. Contact with him was lost from March 13 in the Vyshgorod district. The body of the photographer with gunshot wounds was discovered only on April 1.

Later, President Zelensky presented Max Levin's family with the "For Courage" order awarded to him posthumously.

It is worth adding that also in the capital it is proposed to name the street Bilomorska in honor of the Kherson activist Kateryna Handzyuk, and the day before, a proposal was put forward to name the journalist Oleksandr Makhov Zholueva Street, and Volgogradska Street - with the name of an activist Roman Ratushny.
