I wonder if the name of the street where one is supposed to go in order to “cleanse [!] oneself of the imposed [!!} Ukrainian Nazism [!!!]” was chosen by some bureaucrat with a Putinesque sense of humour or whether it is a mere coincidence: Intercultural street. This is disgusting, undisguised ethnic cleansing.

Oh, I didn’t notice the address. You are right, this makes the whole thing even more insane. I looked on Google Maps, and it’s a real street in Melitopol, although these absolute geniuses misspelled it.
