However, soon it became apparent that confusion would result since several other towns in Russia shared the name (notably Spassk-Ryazansky) and the town was officially renamed Spassk-na-Studentse (Спасск-на-Студенце).
Kuitenkin pian kävi ilmeiseksi, että nimi johtaisi sekaannuksiin, sillä monet kaupungit (esim. Spassk-Rjazanski) olivat samannimisiä. kaupungin viralliseksi nimeksi tuli Spassk-on-Studenets.
