Changes in urbanonymy of north-eastern Poland in the context of statehood transformation Urban place names are a chronicle of the history of a given territory and its inhabitans. They are evidence of crucial changes ocurring over a long period of time, especially in the borderland area, to which the region of Mazury, a part of the north-eastern Poland, belongs. Over years the region was the territory of contention between Poland and Prussia, during the Second World War it was under German occupation, since 1945 it was within the borders of PRL (the Polish People`s Republic), in the sphere of Russian influences. In 1989 the period of independence and statehood transformations began. In each period the mechanisms of giving new names to town objects and of changing the existent ones were similar. They reflected the culture of the nation, important events, historical figures, ideas and values in a given historical period. Giving names commemorating various, often controversial figures of political life such as generals and political leaders, was closely connected with the current policy of the state authorities, for instance Hinderburg Strase was changed for Armii Czerwonej (the Red Army), in free Poland since 1989 the street has been named Armii Krajowej (the Home Army; Polish under groun military organization during the Second World War).

The article deals mainly with the urbanonymy of the capital of Slovakia – Bratislava in the period 1939-1989. The accent is on the hierarchy of the street network, where we can define various ideological views of the governments on social and historical events, which influenced the political development of the territory in the local or national contexts. It deals mostly with the practical possibilities of the analysis of urbanonyms and their interpretation, which may be interesting in the field of history, ethnology, anthropology and geography. During the period 1939-1945 also known as the first Slovak Republic, a puppet state of Nazi Germany, a lot of foreign (German and Austrian origin) place-names were introduced. After February 1948 known in Communist historiography as the „Victorious February“, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia with Soviet backing assumed control over the government of the state. Many urbanonyms were replaced by names of the Soviet or Russian origin. The purpose of our study is a reflection of the historical identity of the Bratislava old town. Study of urbanonymy, or renaming in space and time led to the conclusion, that the place names reflect the shared history, culture and political processes in the wider region of Eastern Europe.
