List of Ukrainian toponyms that were changed as part of derussification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with List of Ukrainian toponyms that were changed as part of decommunization in 2016.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022 has increased the rate of derussification in Ukraine, especially the removal of names associated with Russia and Russian imperialism.[1][2] Many toponyms have or are set to be renamed in accordance with the Ukrainian law No. 3005-IX, On the Condemnation and Prohibition of Propaganda of Russian Imperial Policy in Ukraine and the Decolonization of Toponymy, enacted in 2023. This is a list of toponyms that have been changed in accordance with Ukrainian derussification laws, including but not limited to the 2023 law.

On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename 328 populated places and four raions.[3] The law has come into force since 26 September 2024.[4]
