From the MT:
“Muscovites to Vote on Pro-War
Names for U.S. Embassy Square”
(The U.S. Embassy in Moscow)
Muscovites are voting to name a
square outside the city’s U.S. embassy in honor of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Residents
will choose from three potential names for the currently untitled square at the
intersection of Bolshoy Devyatinsky Lane and Konyushkovskaya Ulitsa, where the
U.S. embassy is located. They are “Defenders of Donbas Square,” “Donetsk
People’s Republic Square” and “Hero of Russia Vladimir Artyomovich Zhoga
Square,” in honor of a separatist
battalion commander who was killed in combat on March 5.
Muscovites, who will vote
digitally via Moscow City Hall’s Active Citizen platform, also have a fourth
option: delegating the decision to local officials. “The Moscow city
administration has received numerous requests from citizens with different names
[for the square], so we decided to put the issue to a city-wide vote,” Active
Citizen said on its website. “As a result [of the vote], the city map will be
immortalized in memory of the defenders of Donbas from neo-Nazis,” it said,
referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that the Kremlin’s
invasion of Ukraine would “denazify” the country. The Active Citizen platform had registered at
least 25,000 votes at the time of writing, but did not indicate when voting
would close. Moscow City Council petitioned earlier in May to name the small
piece of land “Defenders of Donbas Square” and use it as the U.S. Embassy’s
address.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow said
it was “surprised, but not offended” by the proposal and offered its own
interpretation of the suggested name. “‘Defenders of Donbas Square’ is presumed
to be in honor of Ukrainian soldiers bravely defending their homeland from
Kremlin aggression,” it said on Telegram on May 19. The proposal mirrors
similar changes in European capitals, where streets have been renamed in
support of Ukraine since Russia invaded its pro-Western neighbor in late February.
In 2018, Washington voted to rename a square in front of the Russian embassy in
the U.S. capital in honor of slain opposition politician Boris Nemtsov. Russian lawmakers at the time denounced the
unveiling of Boris Nemtsov Plaza as “offensive,” with one offering a
counter-proposal to rename the U.S. Embassy’s address in Moscow to “North
American Dead End, 1.”
^ The US should rename the Street
outside the Russian Embassy in Washington DC to Volodymyr Zelensky Street (in
honor of this great Man who is defeating Russia and their Nazi Zs.)
The Street outside the Russian
Consulate in New York City should be renamed to Bucha Massacre (to honor the
1,000 Civilians - including 31 Children
- that were Raped, Tortured and then shot in the back and left on the streets
or in the basements by the Russians outside Kyiv.)
The Street outside the Russian
Consulate in Houston should be renamed Go F&%K Yourself to honor the
bravery of all Ukrainian Men, Women and Children that are standing up to Putin
and the Russian Nazi Zs.
Every other country around the
world should do similar things to the Streets where they have Russian Embassies
or Consulates.
There are Russian 242 Diplomatic Posts
around the world, with 143 Embassies, 87 Consulates and 12 other Diplomatic Missions.
Sadly, there are also more than enough Russian War Crimes in their 3 month War
in Ukraine to rename every Street without having to reuse names. ^
