Patsaev

Within Patsaev Q is a tiny crater that was officially designated Kira by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).[http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/3045 Feature 3045 Kira], Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN)[https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/topophoto/102A1S1/ 102A1S1(50) Kira], Lunar Topophotomap Series Kira is a Russian feminine name – the crater is named after Kira B. Shingareva, a Russian Geographer known for her work in mapping the far side of the moon.{{Cite web |last=Hoonaard |first=Will C. van den |title=Obituary: Kira Borisovna Shingareva (1938–2013) |url=https://icaci.org/kira-b-shingareva-1938-2013/ |access-date=2022-04-21 |website=International Cartographic Association |language=en-US}} The selenographic coordinates of this feature are 17.6° S, 132.8° E, and the diameter is 3 km.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Patsaev.

The satellite crater Patsaev Q is located just to the southwest of Patsaev.[http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/11874 Patsaev Q], Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) In the past it was suggested that this feature be renamed Chenier,[https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LTO/lto102a1_3/ LTO-102A1 Patsaev] in honor of André Marie Chénier the French poet, but this was never adopted by the IAU.

The crater now known as Bondarenko was formerly known as Patsaev G crater.
