The toponymic committee will consider changing the name of the Champ de Mars and the Shkippersky Canal in St. Petersburg. It was proposed to add the word "street" to the names of the Field of Mars and the Shkippersky Canal. The reason is the Ministry of Finance order from 2015: it does not specify the canal and the canal as separate types of objects. The request has already been accepted by the toponymic committee. Local historian Alexei Arofev believes that it is unlikely that you will support the initiative: unusual names are part of the historical geography of St. Petersburg.
