Hardy,

Henry Barbusse does not feel lonely on the current Czernowitz map -
there are plenty of other streets named after assorted communists,
that were not renamed by Ukranians. Examples include Libknecht,
Luxemburg, Furmanov, Fučík, Plekhanov, Stasyuk, etc. Unlike many of
those, Barbusse was also a world famous writer.

It seems more interesting, that several streets in Czernowitz have
never changed their names. I can count four of those: Goethegasse,
Kopernikusgasse, Storojinetzerstrasse, and Universitätsgasse. Two more
streets, Mickiewiczgasse and Schillergasse, come close to the record
name longevity. They were renamed in Austrian times, but then kept
their names under Romanians, Soviets, and Ukrainians.

Yet another amusing phenomenon of the Czernowitz toponymy - streets,
which play musical chairs. It happens when new authorities do not want
to discard the street name completely, but rather give it to a more or
less centrally located street, according to the changed status of the
honoree. That's why Fedkovich, Eminescu, Pushkin, Lermontov and some
others moved around various Czernowitz neighborhoods.
