#a Poland-Ukraine Friendship Roundabout is I admit a beautiful concept

I am absolutely pro-Polish street name changes, but one thing that annoys me a lot is that from my experience, they always propose someone that gets some attention already (if the poor place even gets a person and not some event or concept), when so many underrated historical figures get nothing. Like, all due respect to members of the Warsaw Uprising or Żołnierze Wyklęci (at least those who treated the local people properly), but can someone tell me they're forgotten with a straight face... Where is my Anna Tomaszewicz-Dobrska Street? My Zofia Rapp-Kochańska Street? My Napoleon Cybulski Street? My Klaudyna Potocka Street? My Zofia Moraczewska Street? My Mala Zimetbaum Street? My Edward Lubusch Street perhaps? And don't even get me started on the Aleja Armii Ludowej proposals... I stand by the suggestions to remove Armia Ludowa from there with all of my heart, but what a clown could possibly decide that Lech Kaczyński should get a street in the city center? That man's death anniversary is celebrated each month. This is the second most often after Jesus Christ. His statue is in front of literal Grób Nieznanego Żołnierza. Does that look like someone in desperate need of their own street to you people.
