I finally formulated for myself the principle, according to which I accept some renaming of toponyms and others do not.

If the new name differs only from the adjustment of the spelling, then I do not accept it. Therefore, Tallinn, Belarus, Mumbai, Kolkata, Almaty and other Moldovans are taking a sharp step. Talked, I speak and I will speak Tallinn, Belarus, Bombay, Calcutta, Alma-Ata and Moldova.

All this kind of “colonization” has been covered with our true name for a hundred years – “children’s lap.”

I only accept major renaming. I take Tverska instead of Gorky, Tolyatti instead of Stavropol-on-Volga, Zimbabwe instead of Rhodesia.

And Kyrgyzstan (instead of Kyrgyzstan) for me is as unacceptable as "Ukraine" instead of the only right "Ukraine".
