Why Tajikistan Renames Glaciers and Geographic Features
Крупнейший ледник Памира вновь сменил название: ледник Ванчях, ранее известный как ледник Федченко, теперь официально называется Ледником Таджикистана.

Tajikistan has officially renamed its largest glacier, formerly known as Fedchenko Glacier and more recently Vanchakh, to "Tajikistan Glacier." This renaming is part of a broader national effort to revise geographical names across the country, including rivers, lakes, mountains, and settlements.
The government cites several reasons for these changes, including aligning names with modern requirements, the national language, and the country's historical and cultural policies. This process involves removing names associated with Soviet-era ideology and replacing foreign-language names, such as Russian or Turkic ones, with forms deemed more appropriate for the Tajik language. The goal is to "cleanse" the map of perceived ideological and linguistic impositions while restoring or solidifying Tajik nomenclature.
The renaming of geographical features reflects a national effort to assert cultural identity and linguistic purity, potentially impacting historical recognition and international understanding of the country's geography.
