[REGNUM] A working group, called upon to deal with the settlement of issues related to the return of pre-revolutionary names to some streets of Simferopol and other cities of Crimea, will be created at the Public Chamber of the region. This was announced by the senator from the Republic of Crimea Sergey Tsekov .

"The Public Chamber supported this proposal. It was decided to create a working group at the Public Chamber, which will study this issue. Because not only in Simferopol it is necessary to return pre-revolutionary names, but also in Yalta, Feodosia, Evpatoria. Experts will work to determine the procedure for returning the pre-revolutionary names to the streets , ”he told the correspondent of the“ Crimean Information Agency."

At the same time, he clarified that he meant the return of the pre-revolutionary name to Karl Marx and Schmidt Streets (Ekaterininskaya and Potemkinskaya, respectively), and added that the cost of such renaming would be minimal.

"There will be no inconveniences for residents who live on this street, as well as for legal entities. It will not be necessary to specifically change the registration, only as needed, for example, obtaining a passport for the first time or replacing it by age. Although if I had such an opportunity, I would go and re-register on the very first day," the senator said.

He also expressed the hope that the pre-revolutionary name of Karl Marx Street will be returned in April 2022 by the next anniversary of the signing by Catherine II of the manifesto on the acceptance of Crimea and Kuban into the Russian Empire.
