The Kyiv City Council has once again voted to rename objects in the capital. From now on, the Labor Glory Park will be named after Pavlo Horyansky, a politician, writer, publicist, chairman of the Regional Ukrainian Council in Crimea in 1919-1920, and consul of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in Yalta. In the early 1930s, during the purges, he was fired for “bourgeois nationalism,” after which his name was silenced for a long time.

The renaming of the park is a significant event that is an indicator of the restoration of historical justice and the memory of those Ukrainians who fought for rights and freedoms, preservation of national identity and resisted in Crimea.

The initiative to rename the park in honor of Pavlo Horyansky was launched by the Crimean Ukrainian Council, and all Ukrainians could join the poll through the Kyiv Digital app and support it.

Let’s continue Pavlo Horyansky’s work and fight for Ukrainian Crimea!
