Residents of Odesa are being offered the opportunity to rename the "Suvorov" natural monument.
Starting November 9, 2026, an online discussion will begin in Odesa regarding the renaming of the natural monument "Suvorovsky," located in the Kotovsky settlement. The historical-toponymic commission recommends renaming it "Green Fairy Tale." The renaming is part of the decolonization law.
In Odesa, the process of renaming the natural monument "Suvorovsky Botanical Garden," located at 92a Heroiv Oborony Street, is beginning. This object, which is under special state protection, was created in 1993 and is part of Ukraine's natural and protected areas.
The current name contains symbolism related to Russian imperial policy, and therefore is subject to change in accordance with the decolonization law. The historical-toponymic commission of the Odesa city council recommended a new name – "Green Fairy Tale."
According to a mayoral decree, the issue has been put up for a two-month online discussion, which will begin on November 9, 2026. Voting can be done on the platform citizen.omr.gov.ua/consultation/, by selecting "Yes" or "No" opposite the proposed name. It is also possible to leave a reasoned comment or observation. The results of the vote will be displayed on the portal in real-time.
