Geographic Patterns of De-Sovietization of Toponymy in Russian Cities
https://doi.org/10.31857/S0869607120030015
Abstract
Desovetization of urban toponymy is understood in the paper as a process of abandoning the unified “matrix of urban names” that formed a common Soviet identity, and as an indicator of the transition of Russian society from the unification of identity to its diversity. The paper proves that the practices of desovietization of urban toponymy in Russia differ significantly, and such differences are associated with regional combinations of political orientations of the population and the political orientations of the ruling elite. Poles of geographical electoral cleavages, types of electoral cultures (according to R.F. Turovsky) describe geographical differences in the processes of desovietization of toponymy. It is shown what influence the organizational and political features of regional and city administrations had on the features and course of desovietization during the periods of renaming. In addition to the general trend of transition from a single Soviet matrix of urban names to regional diversification of toponymic approaches, there is a tendency to “deideologization” and “regionalization” of toponymy through the consolidation of regional historical memory, for national republics – minimal “deideologization”, replaced by “decolonization”, accompanied by “nationalization” and the same “regionalization” of toponymy.
