Dorohozhychi Metro Station Proposed to Be Renamed Babi Yar
The Holocaust Memorial Center has offered to cover the costs of renaming and redesigning the station.
The Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center is proposing to rename the capital's Dorohozhychi metro station Babi Yar. CEO of the project Max Yakover made the announcement on his Facebook page.
"The city does not remember how a quarter of our citizens were killed, Yakover writes. — Many say that this tragedy must not be forgotten".

But to keep from forgetting, something must be done constantly. That is why we are launching an initiative to rename the Dorohozhychi metro station Babi Yar
Yakover, who previously worked on relaunching VDNKh with Maksym Bakhmatov, now an adviser to Vitali Klitschko, also added that the foundation is ready to cover all of the metro's costs related to a possible renaming and redesign.
"Renaming the station, of course, is not enough. Renaming should be followed by a redesign. The story should begin right at the station. It continues in the reserve and then in the museum. Renaming — is the prologue".
According to Kyiv's General Plan, the capital's subway plans to build 14 new stations over the next seven years. Starting April 1, the Kyiv metro will also completely phase out tokens.
