cities of the USSR named after people

The town of Union, named in honor of the people, will not cause the slightest surprise to our compatriot. We all have long been accustomed to such traditions in the names of administrative areas and geographical features. We are quite familiar countless streets of Vladimir Lenin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky boulevards and avenues of Vladimir Putin. In the vast majority of cases the town of Union, named after people are named after prominent Communist figures of the first generations. However, the habit of giving similar names existed in Russian society in ancient times. Suffice it to recall the same Petrograd or lots. And before there was Vladimir, founded by Prince Monomakh, who gave him a name. Some cities of the former USSR are the names not public figures, representatives of culture, which is also quite robust and good for national memory. Some interesting examples of such settlements we take a look in the given text.

Town of Union, named in honor of the people immortalized statesmen

Joseph Stalin

Perhaps the “leader” in this sense, used most popular. List of cities of the Soviet Union, who bore at various times his name not that it is impossible to count, but it exceeds homage to any other policy:

  • Stalin: before 1923 Yuzovka, and in 1955 became Donetsk.
  • Staliniri, 1961 Tskhinvali (town, located in Georgia).
  • Stalinabad – the modern capital of Tajikistan bore that name until it became in Dushanbe.
  • Stalingrad – the city that has become an insurmountable obstacle for the armies of the Third Reich, of course, the most famous of this galaxy.

In addition, not only in the USSR, the city was called in honor of its head. There are and in the fraternal socialist republics. So, the major Bulgarian port of Varna in a period of so called – Stalin. Modern Polish Katowice had a name Stalingrad, while the Hungarian town dunaújváros ten years was Stalinvaros.

Makhachkalalist of cities of the USSR

Not everyone knows, but the Russian city is also named after the Communist revolutionary. The modern capital of Dagestan bears the name of a local party figure since the revolution Makhach Dakhadaeva.

Tolyatti

But the name of this city is a kind of return a tribute. It was named in honour of the Secretary-General of the Italian Communist party Palmiro Togliatti in the year of death of the latter. Until 1964 the city was called Stavropol-on-Volga.

Town of Union, named in honor of the people: the memory of cultural figures

This list in its entirety is also quite impressive. In Georgia there are cities Mayakovsky, Rustaveli, Ukraine Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnitsky, Chekhov, Tchaikovsky and other Russian cities.

Przhevalsk, Kyrgyzstan

I Wonder what the list would be worth to carry a small Kyrgyz town (with a population of only a little over sixty thousand), which bears from 1889 to 1922 and from 1939 until 1992 the name of a famous Russian traveler and naturalist, whose name, ironically, more glorified horse, and not the city?
