Due to the law "On the Condemnation and Prohibition of Propaganda of Russian Imperial Policy in Ukraine and the Decolonization of Toponymy" (in April 2023 signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy) every toponomy in Ukraine with the name "Pershe Travnia" (a reference to International Workers' Day) was set to be renamed.[2] Pershe Travnia was renamed in September 2024.[3]
