Toponyms have been renamed in Kharkiv.
The former Bilohorska Street has now been named in honor of Oleksandr Chaban, a Karazin University graduate.
Oleksandr Chaban died in battle near the village of Hrakove in the Kharkiv region on July 20, 2022, defending Ukraine on the front line of the Russia-Ukrainian War. He was a senior lieutenant and commander of the anti-tank platoon of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko.
Oleksandr graduated with honors from the School of Sociology, majoring in Political Science. During his student years, he led the University's Student Scientific Society and was a leader in Karazin University's student self-government.
We thank everyone who participated in the public discussion and supported the renaming! Eternal glory to the heroes!
