Journal Title: Література та культура Полісся - Year 2017, Vol 87, Issue 7
Abstract
The article deals with the names of Kharkov urbanists devoted to the revolution of 1917 and the civil war. The author identified the main toponymic categories of urban road-street network, administrative districts, villages reflecting this subject, and followed changes in some urban areas. The Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War are clearly reflected in the toponymy of Kharkov, the first capital of Ukraine. According to the generally accepted classification of geographical names, the toponyms associated with 1917–1922 can be divided into oikonimic, hydronimic, memorial, fareronimic, in honor of military units and anthroponomical. Today, the exact number of toponymic objects on topics devoted to the revolution of 1917 and the civil war is very difficult, because the names have been changed or liquidated. Despite the renaming of 2015–2016, associated with de-communization, oikonimic and hydrodynamic nominations remained on the city map. Other towns were replaced. In part, renamed place names were renamed. Fully changed anthroponymic names. The analysis of urban nominations showed that the toponymic palette of Kharkov on this subject significantly decreased and changed, but did not disappear, and the Bolshevik themes were replaced in Ukrainian and in the White Guard.
