25 MPs ask Klitschko to return Ivan Mazepa's name to Lavrska Street - фото 1
MP Volodymyr Viatrovych sent an appeal to the mayor of Kyiv from 25 MPs from different factions calling for the name of Hetman Ivan Mazepa to be returned to Lavrska Street in the Pechersk district of Kyiv.

Viatrovych wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“The shameful decision of the Kyiv City Council to rename most of Mazepa Street to Lavrska Street, adopted in 2010 at the request of Gundyaev and Yanukovych, is still in force. Yanukovych has long since fled, Gundyaev is on the sanctions list, and the ROC is banned by law. It's time to finally fix this,” said the MP.

According to him, public organizations and cultural and religious figures have repeatedly appealed to the Kyiv City Council to return Ivan Mazepa's name to the street. The corresponding petition has long since collected the required number of signatures.

“It's time to finally do it. We call on the Kyiv mayor and the Kyiv City Council to immediately carry out all the necessary procedures and restore historical justice,” said Viatrovych.
