# Horishni Plavni

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Горішні Плавні.

## English name

**Horishni Plavni** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010 and recommended by the UN in 2012; also the BGN/PCGN system adopted in 2019. This spelling also coincides with BGN/PCGN 1965 and ALA-LC Ukrainian 2011.

Other forms in use:

- **Komsomolsk** — Former Soviet city name, replaced in 2016 during decommunization.
- **Komsomolsk-on-Dnieper** — English disambiguating expansion of the former name; not the current official name.
- **Gorìšnì Plavnì** — ISO 9:1995 reversible transliteration of the Ukrainian spelling. Standard-derived form; medium confidence in actual use for this place, not claimed as an established English exonym.
- **Горішні Плавні** — Original Ukrainian Cyrillic spelling, useful for matching local documents and quotations; not a Latin-script English form.

## French name

**Horichni Plavni** — French transcription uses ch for Ukrainian ш; attested in French geographical references.

Other forms in use:

- **Horishni Plavni** — Same official Latin form as in English; French texts may retain it instead of transcribing sh as ch.
- **Komsomolsk** — Former name used in French references before the 2016 renaming.

## About

Horishni Plavni is a mining and industrial city in Poltava Oblast, near the Dnipro and Kremenchuk. Large iron-ore workings and pellet production shaped its planned urban development.

## Notes

Renamed from Komsomolsk in 2016. The modern planned city should not be confused with each of the older villages whose names inform its new name.
