- Annotation: The article is devoted to the current trends in assigning hodonyms as names to linear objects in the cities of the south of Russia – Volgograd, Krasnodar and Voronezh. Topicality of the study is due to the intensive urbanisation and urban growth, which leads to the need for the nomination of new facilities. This process is influenced by both established Russian administrative practices and specific regional features of the hodonymic system formation. The main analysis tool is a system of linguistic codes that permits to classify hodonyms according to their propriatives. The research material consists of 2287 hodonyms recorded in official documents in the period from 2014 to 2024. Two dominant approaches to the nomination were identified – inertial and ideological-memorative. The first one is typical for Volgograd and Voronezh, its properties are standardisation and a high degree of a certain set of nominations repetition. The second is manifested in the hodonymic system of Krasnodar and involves the assignment of unique names that attest to the history and culture of the city. The main differences are manifested in the structure and composition of the hodonym system: Volgograd is characterised by an excess of enumerative names; Krasnodar, by the dominance of personal memorative composite hodonyms; while Voronezh, by the designation of linear objects using mathematical symbols rather than naming.
