Original Russian-language document (scanned). Decree No. 821 of the Administration of the City District of Mariupol, Donetsk People's Republic, dated 22 April 2026, signed by the Head of Administration, A. V. Koltsov. Issued in connection with personnel changes, it amends Decree No. 261 of 25.02.2025, which approved the Regulation on the commission for assigning (changing) names to elements of the street-road network and planning-structure elements on the territory of Mariupol; it restates the commission's composition (Appendix 1). Legal basis cited includes Federal Law No. 443-FZ of 28.12.2013 (the federal information address system) and RF Government Decree No. 1221 of 19.11.2014 on assigning, changing and annulling addresses.

The decree documents the administrative machinery through which the occupation administration controls toponymy — the naming and renaming of Mariupol's streets, roads and planning-structure elements. Control of place-names is a core instrument of identity replacement in occupied territory (the Soviet-era district name "Krasnoarmeysky" seen in DOC-123 illustrates the direction of travel); this decree keeps the naming commission staffed following personnel changes.
