In Kharkiv, on a street named after the hero of Kruty, there isn't a single sign indicating its name, says an activist.

In Kharkiv, the old street signs remain in place on streets that were renamed just a year ago, and some streets have no new names at all.

As reported by "Dumka," this information was shared by the initiative "Decolonization.Ukraine."

Activists in Kharkiv continue to remove signs with old names.

"The street of the Battle participant at Kuty – Valentin Otamanovsky. Unfortunately, there are no signs with the new name," the activists stated.
