In his opinion, this is another "inadequate" statement.

Bredikhin stressed that what is happening is not de-Russification, but “total squandering of the historical memory” of Ukraine. 

“It is very dangerous for saving the “face” of the city.

After the renaming, the city as such will not be preserved, it will no longer be Odessa.

A very unfortunate decision ... It will cause a public outcry, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, Vugelman announced the decision to "derussify" more than 200 streets of the city, renaming them in honor of famous composers or sister cities.

According to him, there is an interactive map of Ukraine, which shows all the streets to be renamed.
