The council voted on the measure on February 24, changing Pod Kastany Square to Boris Nemtsov Square. The name will officially change on February 27 -- the fifth anniversary of Nemtsov's killing.

It also approved naming a promenade in a city park after Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot in 2006.
