On May 28, 2009, a bill was presented in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, in which it was planned to rename the city of Sverdlovsk in Dolschansk (Должанск). On May 12, 2016, the official renaming to Dowschansk took place, but since the place is currently not under the control of the Ukrainian government, the renaming could not actually be carried out.
