The impact of the arrival of Donald Trump to the US government has meant an earthquake in all its forms. So much so that it seems that even the greatest triggers or populist measures are taken as an example by some countries or political leaders, as in this case, it occurs in Russia.
As it has been known, The leader of the political party “Russia Justa – Patriots for the Truth”, Serguéi Mironovrecently presented a proposal to change the name of a European region, according to the Norwegian media Barents Observer
This is Svalbard, an island located in the Arctic Glacial Sea and that this Russian leader would have proposed to rename as “Pomeranian Islands.” This measure is similar to the one Trump wants to carry out with the Gulf of Mexico, which he wants to rename as a Gulf of America.
“Trump is carrying his geopolitical battle to the field of geography and toponymy. Russia should also take the initiative in this field, mainly in the Arctic, “Mironov said in his Telegram account.
Mironov (71 years old) is a recognized ally of Putin, who served as president of the Council of the Russian Federation between 2001 and 2011 and ensures that it has served as inspiration to carry out this proposal. And is that, That is not the only place that wants to rename, since it has proposed the same for the Arctic Ocean, which would want to call it “Russian Arctic Ocean” or the land of Francisco José, which he would call “Land of Lomonosov”.
“This It is a vital macro -region for us which was acquired by our ancestors in ancient times. The Russian authority should be reflected everywhere, even in geographical names, “Mironov argues.
These statements acquire greater importance at a time when disputes over the Arctic region are more in dispute than ever in recent decades, so That these statements of Mironov have been “very serious” for the Norwegian government.
