Notes
The 2019 renaming is confirmed by https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/251-20 . Not Pereslavl-Zalessky in Russia. The council’s political interpretation is disputed; no claim of timeless reunification is made. ISO 9:1995 alternatives are systematic search aids, not independently attested exonyms.
