A Russian man is praying to have a local street called “Godless” renamed after President-elect Donald Trump.

Sergey Bizyukin of Ryazan has launched a petition to rename the alley Donald Trump Street, saying almost 300 people had already signed.

“Some saw it as a joke and signed because it was fun. Some stood for normalization of US-Russia ties, and some signed because they don’t like the current name of the street,” Bizyukin, 34, told CNN.

The alley received its atheistic moniker during the years of Communism, when religion was rejected.

“Like any other towns, Ryazan has its share of problems in economy, with infrastructure,” Bizyukin said about Ryazan, which is about 125 miles southeast of Moscow and has a population of 500,000.

He said his campaign — whose slogan is “Make Ryazan Great Again”— is based on Trump’s popularity after singing the praises of President Vladimir Putin.

“They have good ties,” one man told CNN. “Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin respects Donald Trump exactly the same way Donald Trump respects Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.”

Another man said he also admired Trump.

“He’s positive, good,” he said. “I think they will be friends and everything will be fine. I like Trump. I like his family, his ties with children, wife — all of that. He does not want to go to war, he wants to make friends. What’s bad about it?”

But not everyone is bigly on the proposal.

“I don’t think it makes sense to rename it,” one man said. “What’s going to change?”

Bizyukin’s plan already faces a roadblock because the local law says streets cannot be named after people who are still alive.
