Website of Mikhail Kozhaev

On May 19, 2016, it became known about the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Independent Ukraine to rename the city of Dnepropetrovsk to Dnepr. The renaming was initiated by the city council at the end of 2015 as part of the decommunization of the names of Ukrainian cities. The fact is that the city was renamed in honor of the Soviet party and statesman Grigory Petrovsky (1878 - 1958), and not in honor of the Apostle Peter, as might have been expected. And now the capital of the Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine is the city of Dnieper.

A similar situation in Russia is associated with Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg, which, having returned to their former names, remained the centers of the Sverdlovsk and Leningrad regions, respectively. But that's not even what we're talking about. Today I just wanted to remember and find out the former names of Russian cities. Because many former names are not only unheard of, but may even seem paradoxical. For example, what is the name of Stavropol-on-Volga today? Don't remember? Because how else would you know the old name of Togliatti, if you were either not born and lived there, or had relatives there, or were a Wasserman from Russian geography. For everyone else - this article.

Cities with a population of more than 500 thousand people

To determine the order of indicating cities whose names have changed during Russian history, the principle of population decrease was chosen - from the largest to the smallest. To do this, it turned out to be sufficient to use a list of Russian cities with the corresponding rank, for example, in the Wikipedia table. It seems enough to limit ourselves to cities with a population of more than 500 thousand people, and say a few words about the rest separately. So.

Cities with a population of less than 500 thousand people

Yes, it would be completely wrong to focus only on large cities. After all, population is one thing, and proud names are another. It is difficult to imagine the current article without recalling Grebenshchikov’s line “This train flies like an apostolic rank on the way from Kalinin to Tver” and without indicating that from 1931 to 1990 Tver bore the name of the “All-Russian elder” Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin.

However, we can limit ourselves to simple mentions of how certain Russian cities were previously called. So:

Kirov – Vyatka – Khlynov

Kaliningrad – Twangste – Königsberg

Stavropol – Stavropol-Caucasian – Voroshilovsk

Sevastopol – Akhtiar

Ivanovo – Ivanovo-Voznesensk

Kurgan – Tsarevo Settlement – ​​Kurganskaya Sloboda

Vladikavkaz - Ordzhonikidze (yes, if the city had been left named in honor of Grigory Nikolaevich Ordzhonikidze, it would not have been Vlaikavkaz, Ordzhonikidze’s “Alania” that would have been the Russian football champion in 1995)

Murmansk – Romanov-on-Murman

Yoshkar-Ola – Tsarevokokshaysk – Krasnokokshaysk

Syktyvkar – Ust-Sysolsk

Dzerzhinsk – Rastyapino

Veliky Novgorod – Novgorod

Engels – Pokrovskaya Sloboda – Pokrovsk

Yes, not only cities, but also entire countries and empires are insured against large-scale renaming. It is only important that the new names are chosen to suit your taste. Here is Tula, for example. As it was founded in 1146, it remains Tula today. Maybe it’s true what they say: whatever you call a ship, that’s how it will sail. This is especially true for such huge ships as cities.
