Helsinki Loves Trump group of Finnish civil activists proposed to name one of the parks in Helsinki in honor of the Russian President, according to Fotanka.ru. They want to rename an object on the Helsinki map, which is already called in honor of the Leader of the Great October Revolution Vladimir Lenin.

The Finnish activists want to cancel the summit of leaders of Russian and the United States, which soon is going to take place in the capital of Finland. Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will meet in several days. 

The corresponding initiative appeared at the customized website of the civil initiatives  Kuntalaisaloite.fi 4 days ago. The population was not very enthusiastic about this idea so far. It was signed by less than 100 people over this time. It is necessary to collect around 12 000 signatures so that Helsinki authorities should discuss this or that project. 

Besides, the activists would like to eternalize the name of Donald Trump. They chose a new name for Ateneum lane where the National Gallery Ateneum is situated and want to call it Trump Street. Thus, residents and guests of the city will remember about peace-making role of Finland at the world arena.
