In Simferopol they decided to rename Turetskaya Street
The head of the administration of Simferopol, Gennady Bakharev, supported the idea of renaming Turetskaya Street to the street named after Oleg Peshkov, a Su-24 pilot who died in Syria. According to Bakharev, the city deputies must approve the decision.
“I have already considered the proposal and supported it. The next stage is the deputies. They will be considered at the commission, then at the session, and then we will already change the signs, ”Bakharev said.
- Oleg Peshkov died on November 24. A Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian Su-24, which participated in a military operation in Syria. Türkiye claimed that the bomber violated its airspace; Russia denied these accusations. Both pilots ejected. Peshkov died (probably as a result of fire from the ground); the navigator managed to escape.
- The idea of naming a street after the deceased pilot is being discussed in Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Lipetsk and other cities. In Moscow, representatives of the League for Assistance to Defense Enterprises proposed to rename the 7th Rostovsky lane, where the Turkish embassy is located, to Peshkov Street.
