In Orenburg, the “battle for the name” of the square began

In Orenburg, the “battle for the name” of the place of Malaya Zemlya began.

The first was an initiative to name the territory after Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

However, a day later, another group of initiators offered to name the hospital’s murdered GP instead. Pirogov Elena Fedorova. Organization of public activists voting.

Opinions were divided. Some believe that the name of an obnoxious politician is more meaningful to history than the name of a girl victim of unrequited feelings. Others “beat” the fact that Fedorova is a woman from Orenburg, and Zhirinovsky has nothing to do with the city.

The editors of “The Eastern Herald in Orenburg” also organized a poll, the name of which should be given instead at the intersection of Tereshkova and Novaya.
