Following “decommunization,” Poroshenko will arrange “de-imperialization” for Ukraine

Decommunization of Ukraine is only the first step in getting rid of the country’s Russian past; de-imperialization is also next in line. The co-author of the decommunization law, director of the Institute of National Remembrance, Vladimir Vyatrovich, stated this on Channel 5.

According to the official, proposals to rename cities from Soviet to imperial style are also unacceptable.

“In Kirovograd, for example, there is a fairly active group of deputies and local communities who are trying to return the old imperial name Elisavetgrad to the city. Obviously, soap is also changing from awl.

Obviously, decommunization is only the first stage. Next we must talk about some kind of decolonization. I think that a city like Kirovograd can get some beautiful Ukrainian name. It is not necessary to return to imperial names for this,” Vyatrovich said.
