Google Maps Reverts to Soviet-Era Place Names in Crimea
- kafkaesq 10y agoThis seems unnecessarily provocative. Why can't they just restore them to the pre-annexation names (i.e. rolling back the name changes proposed by the Ukrainian parliament)? That would be the simplest way of saying "We're not playing these games -- with either side of the conflict."
- krymnash1234 10y agoThis is what they did. They rolled back to soviet era names, which was exactly what the names were before Ukrainian parliament renames them. So Crimea had a bunch of Soviet-named cities for these years
- kafkaesq 10y agoOK -- if so, then the article was pretty sloppy for not clarifying that point.
