Poima or Poyma (Template:Lang-uk), known as Tsiurupynsk before 2016, is a rural-type settlement in Ukraine, located in Oleshky urban hromada, Kherson Raion, Kherson Oblast.[2]
History
In accordance with decommunization laws in Ukraine, Tsiurupynsk was renamed to Poima by the Ukrainian parliament in 2016.[3]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it was occupied by Russia.[4]
On 23 September 2023, the administration of Oleshky urban hromada began discussions on renaming Poima to "Zaplava". This was as a result of a decision by the National Commission for State Language Standards on 22 June, determining that the name of the settlement was not in line with state language standards, as it was a transliteration from Russian. "Zaplava" (Template:Lang-uk) is the native Ukrainian equivalent of Poima. Poima was one of 43 settlements in Kherson Oblast recommended to be renamed in the decision.[5]
Poima was reportedly recaptured by Ukraine on October 18, 2023 during an incursion across the Dnipro river.[4][6]
Demographics
In 2001 the settlement had 117 inhabitants, native language as of the 2001 Ukrainian census:[1]
