Claude on the Kennedy Center renaming
Leaders naming buildings after themselves occurs across many countries, though it’s more common in certain political systems: Authoritarian and autocratic regimes are where this practice is most prevalent. Leaders in countries like Turkmenistan (Saparmurat Niyazov renamed months and built monuments to himself), North Korea (the Kim dynasty), Equatorial Guinea (Teodoro Obiang), and historically in the Soviet Union (Stalin), Iraq (Saddam Hussein), and Libya (Gaddafi) have extensively named buildings, cities, airports, and institutions after themselves.
