On the site of electronic petitions of the KSCA, the people of Kyiv supported the idea of renaming the Zaslonov Street in the Darnytskyy district of Kyiv into the Hennadii Afanasiev Street. 6036 votes were collected.
Thus, the mayor of Kyiv, Vitalii Klychko, instructed the deputy head of the city administration and permanent deputy commissions to consider the petition.
We remind you that Hennadii Afanasiev was an activist in the resistance to the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, and after a full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, he became a soldier in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and died on December 18, 2022 near the village of Bilohorivka, Luhansk region
The Crimean Tatar Resource Center supports this initiative and calls for attention to the de-Russification of Ukrainian cities.
