The controversial renaming of the Avenue in Kiev: fresh details

The court has forbidden to rename Prospekt Vatutina Avenue Shukhevych.

District administrative court banned the mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko to sign the decision on renaming of prospect Vatutina Avenue Shukhevych. The decision was taken on the evening of 12 June.

This was announced by the head of the Institute of legal policy and social protection Elena Berezhnaya.

– Now judge of the District administrative court issued a ruling prohibiting the defendant city Council to sign and publish the decision of 1 June about the renaming of the legendary Avenue General Vatutin Shukhevych before the case in court in fact! This means that the mayor Klitschko’s decision not to sign and it will not come into force! – informed gentle on my Facebook.

The decision of city Council to rename the Avenue General Vatutin Avenue Roman Shukhevych seriously excited the locals. The decision of the Kyiv city state administration was outraged, not only Kiev, but also residents of many other cities of Ukraine.

It is noteworthy that Vatutin during the war led the operation to liberate Kiev and was mortally wounded in a skirmish with the forces of the UPA. After the war the monument to General Vatutin was established in many cities of Ukraine and Russia.
