Yes ,Hardy, Edgar, Berti and All, there were still a lot of soviet era
names .
In 2011 , on my visit to Czernowitz I was very surprised ( and quite
delighted ) to discover that my mother's family home on Bankgasse still
exists on vul. Sterna, named after the famous ( notorious?) and tragic
Manfred Stern aka General Emilio Kleber. My mother would have liked it: back
in 1937 many Jews were proud to know that "our Czernowitzer/Bukovinian boys
" were the first Jews to fight Hitler . "Oh, die Spanienkaempfer" ( the
fighters in Spain) . Today we are back to Bankgasse ...
Then , I went to Fechnergasse ,(were my father spent his childhood) named
vul. Dimitrova after bulgarian Georgi Dimitrov . Father would have liked
it. Back in 1933 , like many people, he admired Dimitrov for his courageous
speeches in the Leipziger Trial , after the Reichstag Fire.
And , guess what? My parents' address after their marriage ( in the 1936
Directory) on Strada Aviator Gagea , was in 2011 still named after the
old-time revolutionary Bolshevik M Frunze !
I found it very funny...
My question is : what was wrong with Lomonossow ?
Thank you, Marc.
Regards,
Irene

I don't know, but as a matter of fact, it's in vogue in Ukraine to get rid
of the Soviet remains, such as street names. It's nice to have
Synagogengasse back, but what was wrong with streets named for Henri
Barbusse, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht? Many European cities kept
these street names unchanged.
