In 2023, Narva, Estonia, has initiated changes to its public transit system by renaming bus stops that currently bear names associated with Soviet-era figures. This move follows the city's earlier decision to remove street names linked to the Red Army and Communists, reflecting a broader shift in public sentiment towards the re-evaluation of historical symbols related to Soviet rule. As part of this initiative, several bus stops will receive new names that align with legal requirements and the rules of the Estonian language.

The draft proposal for these name changes suggests that many current bus stops will be renamed, including significant adjustments like changing the name of the 26th of July stop to Kanepi and a couple of stops named after Grafov to Madis. This renaming continues the trend set by the city government in renaming streets, including the one formerly named after Igor Grafov, a Red Army figure. Furthermore, two stops named Tiiman will be updated to Vahtra, aligning with the intent to cleanse the city's public spaces of Russian influence.

However, not all names linked to prominent figures will be removed; the name of Paul Keres, a renowned chess grandmaster born in Narva, will be preserved for some bus stops. Additionally, he will be honored with new stops at both ends of the city's main transit street. Nevertheless, it appears that the name of Alexander Pushkin might eventually be discarded from the bus stops, indicating a continued debate within the community about which historical figures should be commemorated as Narva navigates its identity post-Soviet era.
