About the initiative
A petition was registered in the capital to change the name of the metro station "Akademmistechko" to "Vasyl Stus". The initiative was submitted on November 19. The author points to the poet's historical connection to the area.
Arguments
Among the main motives is that the poet lived and worked not far from the station; the renaming has symbolic significance and adds cultural context to the city's toponymy. The author also notes that the current name has a purely technical character.
