“At the initiative of the head of the Elizovsky municipal district, Sergey Nikolayevich Tyulkin, this particular street, the street of the Work Shift, will be renamed the street of the Defenders of Donbass.

Now this decision will be made as an initiative, then public hearings will be held,” said Vladimir Solodov, Governor of the Kamchatka Territory.

Earlier, the governor of Primorsky Krai Oleg Kozhemyako announced that a street would appear on Russky Island in Vladivostok in honor of Vladimir Zhoga, commander of the Sparta battalion, who died in Donbass. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded him the title of Hero of Russia posthumously.
