Notes
Historical Manhush restored in 1995, replacing Pershotravneve. The district was renamed separately in 2016; those are different events. Russian Першотравневое must not be silently replaced by its translated meaning Первомайское. https://dn.gov.ua/storage/app/media/uploaded-files/HRONOGRAF.pdf Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency.
