The text, which is part of the new field of social sciences – Donbas Studies, presents partial results of the research carried out in the city of Severodonetsk, which is located in the Lugansk Oblast in Donbas. The author, using the ethnographic method of field research, was looking for an answer to the question of how the process of decommunization in Donbas proceeded, and in particular, how the sense of removing the symbols of communism was negotiated, what aspects of this process turned out to be socially conflicting, and what role young people played in this process? Using the interpretation of metaphors and etymologies, the author states that de-communization in Ukraine, apart from the official imperative of oblivion, brings an element of revenge with it. Thanks to participation in the discussion on the de-communization of young people, it is possible to notice that its field of meaning has been extended to include aspects relating not only to the assessment of the past, but also the current social situation in Ukraine. Thanks to this, de-communization does not only mean an order to forget, but also to remember.

Artykuł traktuje o względach etycznych towarzyszących przemianowaniom urbanonimów wkontekście dekomunizacji. Skupiono się w nim na kilku kwestiach, dotyczących zwłaszcza uzasadniania zmian nazw ulic i placów, a także traktowania onimów jako nośników wartości, mogących służyć władzy i jej propagowaniu. Zwrócono ponadto uwagę na udział lokalnej społeczności w usuwaniu niepożądanych symboli komunistycznych. Ustalono, że naruszenie norm etycznych dotyczy: nieuwzględniania opinii środowisk lokalnych, zwłaszcza mieszkańców danej ulicy, w kwestii zmiany nazwy oraz wykorzystywania przez władzę swojej uprzywilejowanej w tym względzie pozycji, narzucania przez nią określonego światopoglądu i systemu wartości, a także posługiwania się nieprawdziwymi argumentami.

This article deals with ethical considerations accompanying the reorganization of urbanonyms in the context of de-communization. It is focused on several issues, in particular concerning the justification of changes in the names of streets and squares, as well as the treatment of onyms as carriers of values that could serve the authority and its propagation. Attention was also paid to the participation of the local community in removing unwanted communist symbols. Based on the observations made, it was established that the violation of ethical norms concerns: disregarding the opinions of local communities, especially residents of a given street, regarding the change of name and the use of its privileged position by the authority, the imposition of a particular worldview and value system, and the use of untrue arguments.
