Commemorative/honorific motive in toponymy belongs to the most typical features of place-names system in Central, Southern and Eastern European countries after 1945. In addition to having focused on its general characteristics we have also sought to answer the question of whether there exist common features that could be attributed to the influence of Soviet toponymy. This is illustrated by the analysis of the place-names proposed for a new model socialist city Havířov (founded in 1955, Czechoslovakia).
