Renaming of geographical objects in the Russian Far East (Russian: Переименование географических объектов на Дальнем Востоке) was a process massive[1] change in the names of geographical objects and settlements in the Primorsky Krai, as well as in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Amur Oblast, from indigenous names to Russian-language ones, with the bulk of the changes occurred from 1972 to 1974.[2][3][4] About 500 objects were renamed, including 100 settlements. The renaming occurred as a result of the armed conflict with China over Damansky Island in 1969. Many (but not all) place names that were replaced were of Chinese origin.
