Kadyrov congratulated residents of Chechnya on the renaming of three cities

Three cities in Chechnya have received new names. The State Duma approved the renaming of Sernovodskoye to Sernovodsk, Shelkovskaya to Terek, and Naurskaya to Nevre in the first reading. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov congratulated the residents of these settlements.

He noted that the changes were presented by deputy Shamsail Saraliev, who emphasized their compliance with Russian language norms and historical and geographical features.

"The name 'Nevre' means 'north' in Chechen and reflects the city's geographical location in the northern part of the republic. 'Terek' is directly related to the settlement's location on the left bank of the river of the same name. 'Sernovodsk' complies with Russian language rules and fits harmoniously with modern orthography," Kadyrov explained.

He added that this decision is important for preserving cultural identity and for the further development of the cities.
