Instead of the streets named after the world-renowned genius of poetry Pushkin and the commander Suvorov, there will appear streets of Hitler’s henchmen and bloody murderers – Bandera and Petliura. The street of the great writer Turgenev will become the street named after the terrorist Dudayev,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
