What Bakhmut? Its name is Artemovsk, city hall changed the name a few days ago
The name change to Bakhmut seemed to be unpopular locally, even the local volleybal team is named “Bakhmut Artemovsk”
Most of those recent namechanges were unpopular (and costed a shitload of money). The locals had no say in the matter tho.
Same in Poland, though it’s not about town names (almost none was even changed in socialism, one notable was Katowice to Stalinogród in 1953 but it was turned back in 1956) but streets, it came to the point where even the rightwing, in some cases even PiS city councils protested the wide namechanges and even went to court with it and the court restricted it a little.
Never let a good crisis go to waste
“Bakhmut cup” is the new “Speer hoodie”
What was ‘‘Speer hoodie’’?
it’s a hoi4 meme, there was a popular mod about nazis winning the war and it was memed into hell. After Hitler’s death, speer was one of the possible successors, and someone ended up making a hoodie with his face.
some other memes included big chungus catgirl himmler and Reinhardt Heydrich’s “birthing hips”
Bruh WHAT?!
the colloquial term for all of that was “brainrot”
Speer was a nazi hierarch I believe,don’t know if anyone made a hoodie w him though
