Aeroport Boryspil in Kiev will bring a name of Ivan Mazepa

The official portal of the Ministry of Infrastructure has completed three weeks online voting for the new name to the Boryspil aeroport. Among the main contenders were the names of such iconic Ukrainian personalities as Igor Sikorskiy, Kazimir Malevich and Ivan Mazepa, which won the voting. Almost thirteen thousands of people have chosen this variant. The aircraft designer had 9 297 people voted for, and the author of the Black Square counted 9 224 votes.

According to earlier written news, in the spring 2016, on May 18, the Verhovna Rada registered a draft agreement on assignment to the Boryspil aeroport the name of Igor Sikorskiy. Later were signed four other variants of the names. To avoid any disagreement, the Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelian proposed to begin the online voting on the government structure website.
