Considering the pleading of Zaporizhzhia Oblast council regarding renaming of Besidivka village of Besidivka village council of Pryazovia region of Zaporizhzhia Oblast to a village Besedivka, the Committee members noted that renaming of the populated area is not justified enough due to absence of any proven historical records of the name in documentary sources which would indicate its original form, and adopted the decision to recommit the materials regarding renaming of this populated area.
