The four published case studies (9 mapped points across them), plotted against the project’s full geocoded property-seizure spine (2,683 evidenced properties) and the 470-building demolition register. Click any marker for a summary, sourcing, and a link to the full exhibit where one exists. Toggle layers below.
This map shows only geocoded, evidenced properties. Most points (1,774 of 2,683 on the spine layer) are claim-grade verified (≥0.80 confidence per this project’s sourcing standard); 13 fall below that bar and are marked “pending verification” in their popup; 896 carry independent corroboration that hasn’t yet been confidence-scored at all (“unscored”) and should not be treated as claim-grade until it is. None of this is hidden from you — check a point’s popup before citing it.
Sourcing. Case-study points trace to the project’s PostgreSQL spine (chain-of-custody hashed) where geocoded there; two buildings not yet geocoded on the spine itself (prosp. Stroiteley 108; ul. Sechenova 54) are placed via an independent OpenStreetMap/Nominatim address lookup and flagged “approximate” in their popup — not claim-grade, for orientation only. The court docket case study (28 judges, 2,666 rulings) has no point here by design — its central finding is that none of those 2,666 records name a street address; see the full exhibit. Demolition layer. 470 buildings on the demolition register; 20 of those have a matched reallocation order — the demolish→rebuild address-laundering pattern documented in the Nakhimova 82 case study. Spine popups & toponymy. The post-2016 (decommunization-law) Ukrainian name is treated as canonical for the pre-invasion period; the Latin transliteration is always built from it, never from the Russian spelling, even when only an occupation-sourced address is on file. Where this project's toponym record shows the occupier reverted a street to its pre-2016 Soviet/Communist-figure name (true for every documented rename so far — e.g. проспект Миру, itself the 2016 replacement for Soviet-era проспект Леніна, reverted back to Lenin by the occupier), the popup shows both: the Ukrainian name and the restored Soviet-era name, each labeled. Each point also carries RD4U claim category and the single best-evidenced record for it — a dated lifecycle decree where one exists, otherwise the strongest independent corroboration on file (damage assessment, satellite, resident media, etc.), clearly labeled as such. Properties with no rd4u_category, no decree, no corroboration, and no court case at all are excluded from this layer rather than shown with nothing behind them.
