In Odessa, there's a movement to decommunize a legendary tree (photo included).

In Odessa, there are plans to rename a tree that is allegedly planted by the writer Alexander Pushkin, currently known as the "Pushkin Plane Tree." They intend to rename it to "Western Plane Tree."

This two-hundred-year-old plant is located in the Stock Exchange Square. Local communities report that there are no intentions to cut it down.

The tree has been included in the list of geographical objects whose names contain symbols of Russian imperial politics. Therefore, a decision has been made to rename it.

It is worth mentioning that "Dumskaya" notes that contrary to the popular myth, the plane tree has no connection to Pushkin, as they are contemporaries of the monument.
