«Who was the person after whom the street in Kyiv was named? What was this person famous for? Such questions arise especially often among Kyiv residents and visitors during the years of intensive place name changes caused by decommunisation. This book will introduce more than 290 prominent (but, unfortunately, not always known to the general public) figures of Ukraine and the world whose names have appeared on the map of Kyiv over the past 30 years.

A separate section is devoted to debunking the «positive» myths of totalitarian propaganda about persons, events and phenomena characteristic of the toponymy of the Soviet era. In addition, the guide will help you find the right street or square of the capital by its new or old name, as well as tell you many interesting facts about the history of Kyiv's urban names.
