Streets named after the leaders of the unrecognized Chechen Republic of Ichkeria appeared in the Ukrainian Kryvyi Rih city. North Caucasus analyst Harold Chambers published a photo of the new signs in the city.

The signs bear the names of Dzhokhar Dudayev, the first President of Ichkeria, Vakha Arsanov, the Vice-president, and Ruslan (Khamzat) Gelayev, the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces in the 2000s. The pictures show Chechen fighters fighting in defense of Ukraine.

In October, more than 40 streets, lanes, and squares were renamed in Kyiv, the names of which were associated with Russia or the Soviet past. Another 95 objects of the Ukrainian capital were renamed in August. In total, 296 different names, already selected by the expert commission, can be changed in Kyiv.

The Chechen Republic of Ichkeria is an unrecognized separatist state entity (1991-2000), created after the collapse of the USSR on the part of the territory of the former Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and dismantled by the Russian federal troops during the second Chechen war. The authorities of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria should not be confused with the organization "Congress of the Peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan," banned and recognized as a terrorist group by a Russian court.
