Four contiguous war-damaged buildings, all four named in one demolition decree, with wildly different physical fates — 106 restored in place, scaffolded and re-plastered with the original residents physically barred from the site; 108 only partially demolished (one entrance/section torn down, the rest of the tower left standing); 104/110 not confirmed razed at all — yet hundreds of apartments across all four are individually stripped via the ownerless registry regardless of which of these very different physical realities actually applies.

Four buildings, four deliberately different visual registers — siege damage, restoration, partial demolition, prewar baseline. The point of the case is that the registry mechanism does not distinguish between them.

01 · The four properties

All four named individually in one demolition order

All four buildings are named individually in Demolition Decree No. 56 (29.09.2022)Распоряжение ГКО ДНР № 56 от 29.09.2022 and collectively in the residents' joint letter (§04). All four sit in the same district.

283 apartments across the four buildings individually declared "ownerless" and stripped from their owners — all four buildings tied to the same demolition order dated 29 September 2022. 106 has the deepest evidence: 125 individual apartment disappearances independently matched against dated snapshots of the registry over time.

02 · The contradiction at the center of the case

Demolished on paper · restored on the ground · erased flat-by-flat regardless

Track 1 — on paper, demolished

Demolition Decree No. 56Распоряжение ГКО ДНР № 56 от 29.09.2022 lists building 106 by its full street address, marked for demolition, dated 29 September 2022. Source: the DNR Ministry of Construction's own open-data demolition register, official snapshot dated 16 March 2026.

104 courtyard — close-range burnt facade, sheared balcony rail

104 courtyard — wide multi-floor blown-out windows

104 — full facade, multiple floors fire-scorched, May 2022

106 — destroyed ground-floor former ATB supermarket

106 — burnt-out upper-floor balconies, May 2022

Whole 104-110 stretch, snow on ground, burnt facades, Feb 2023

Six independent angles across the decree's own four addresses — not a single damage source, but courtyard, street, and aerial-stretch footage converging on the same buildings the decree names.

Connective rung [H] — toponymy as de-Ukrainization

The address itself is occupation-renamed. The building group's pre-war Ukrainian address was prosp. Myruпросп. Миру ("Peace Avenue") — the occupation's own street signage and this case study's title both still carry it parenthetically as "(Mira)" because the rename is recent enough that residents and even occupation paperwork have not fully converged on it. Renamed to prosp. Leninaпросп. Ленина under the same occupation street-renaming layer already documented for prosp. Myru 100 → prosp. Lenina 100 (rung [H]). As the system map notes, the specific Mariupol renaming decree is not itself on any public register; the rename is documented from independent reporting.

prosp. Myru (Peace Ave.) → prosp. Lenina

This is not incidental record-keeping — severing the address from its pre-war Ukrainian name is part of the same erasure this case documents at the level of ownership: a building's link to its Ukrainian past is cut on the map at the same time its individual apartments are cut from their owners in the registry. See [H]Toponymy / address laundering rung.

Track 2 — on the ground, restored, not razed

The building's own residents' Telegram chat (@Lenina106_Mariupol) shows restoration work in progress thirteen months after the demolition decree — not a cleared lot, not a new construction site:

«Строители говорят закончат тепловой контур к концу года. Уже в некоторых квартирах ведутся штукатурные работы. В сам дом никого не впускают.» "Builders say they'll finish the thermal envelope by year's end. Plastering is already underway in some apartments. Nobody is let into the building itself." Resident chat, with photo · 2023-10-05

«Почему вам не вернут вашу квартиру? Если вы собственник и есть документы… дом то не сносили…» "Why won't they give you back your apartment? If you're the owner and have the documents… the building wasn't even demolished…" Resident chat · 2023-10-05

106 restoration, plastering underway, Oct 2023

106 under restoration, October 2023 — scaffolded and re-plastered, residents barred from even the yard.

Track 3 — on paper again, erased flat-by-flat anyway

Independent of which of Tracks 1/2 is physically true, the ownerless registry processed these apartments in 106 as “ownerless” (бесхозяйные) across four dated snapshots, all while residents were demonstrably alive, organized, and petitioning for their homes:

91 distinct apartments in building 106 alone, individually declared "ownerless" and erased from their owners' names

Apartments affected (by number): 3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,19,20,21, 24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,34,42,44,47,48,49,51,52,54,56,58,60,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,71,72, 73,76,78,79,80,82,83,84,85,88,89,92,93,94,95,96,97,99,100,101,102,103,105,110,111,113,114, 116,121,124,125,126,128,129,132,133,137,138,140,143,145,148,149,150,153,157.

The registry continued processing apartments in a building its own demolition order claims no longer exists. Source: the Zhovtnevyi-district ownerless-property registry, an official Mariupol municipal record, compared across multiple dated snapshots over time.

Three different buildings, three different physical outcomes (restored / partially razed / unconfirmed), but all processed identically through the registry. This is the project's reference example of a second seizure modality: administrative erasure that outruns and ignores physical reality — even when that reality itself varies building-to-building within the same decree.

03 · Track 4 — the human cost

At least seven recorded deaths across the four buildings

Independent of any of the paper tracks above, residents of these buildings died during the siege and in the months after, while the buildings' legal status was being contested on paper. A 6-person casualty record — titled "Погибшие 6ч. Мира, 110," attributed to mariupoldestruction.com — was supplied 2026-06-19 and corroborated against the named individuals' own memorial posts; a seventh, unidentified death is documented separately by the makeshift grave dug in 106's own courtyard.

Unidentified — makeshift courtyard grave building 106 · date of burial not recorded A seventh death, distinct from the six named above: a makeshift grave dug in 106's own courtyard during the siege, never formally registered or identified. Counted separately because it is not one of the six names in the casualty record and its location (106) does not match where most of the six named individuals lived (110).

The document title and five of the six named individuals point to building 110; the grave is at 106. We treat the named-six record as a shared finding across all four buildings, not pinned to one; the grave is recorded against 106 specifically. These are named deceased civilians from a public memorial dataset; naming them is the documentary point and is outside this project's privacy protections for living property owners.

Source: residents' memorial posts and a public memorial map maintained by mariupoldestruction.com. A not-yet-located video lead is kept off the record until its original source is found and is deliberately not cited here.

04 · The residents' own collective record

A letter to Putin, on-camera testimony, and a fenced-but-idle site

A joint petition, captured verbatim from the residents' chat (dated 2023-10-18), signed "Residents of 104, 106, 108 and 110 prosp. Lenina, Mariupol" and addressed to:

President of Russia Vladimir Putin · Russian Minister of Construction Irek Faizullin · DNR Minister of Construction Nikolai Tsyganov · Mariupol City Prosecutor Andrii Polishchuk · Mariupol Mayor Oleg Morgun

Polishchuk is not an imported Russian official — he is a pre-war Ukrainian district prosecutor who was wanted in Ukraine for separatism from 2014, fled to the DNR, self-declared "chief prosecutor" of occupied Horlivka, and was later installed as Mariupol's occupation prosecutor: a collaborator, not a transplant. (zradomir.com.ua; patronymic not yet confirmed in any source.)

It names the responsible construction-chain parties directly:

Developer: Russian Ministry of Construction · Client: Public Corporation "Unified Construction Client" · General contractor: LLC "RKS-NR" From the joint letter — the same federal contractor chain already in this project's stakeholder network, click any name to open it

First page of the residents' joint letter to Putin and ministries, with embedded photos — First page of the residents' letter to the authorities, with embedded photos. The residents document nine months of renovation with no resident access: facades and roofs redone while burned-out interiors are left untouched, makeshift worker latrines inside apartments, a fire on site, a heating riser downsized, windows installed with un-sealable gaps, a leaking roof. Dated 2023-10-18.

On-camera, a year later — same complaint

Residents repeat the same complaint directly to camera: work halted with no explanation, repeated new subcontractors who do nothing, ground-floor commercial space already let to a bank / flower shop / pelmennaya while residents still can't access their own apartments, and — a claim not in the written letter — apartment square footage/wall layout altered during the works ("квадратура изменилась").

Residents of 104/106/108/110 gathered in the courtyard to address the camera; faces obscured — **Resident testimony to camera** (all four buildings). Residents' faces are obscured here; the unaltered video is their own public appeal — watch on YouTube ↗.

05 · Paper trail, continued

Ruling No. I/3-3 — a compensation-housing list for someone else's claimants

A second document, Ruling No. I/3-3 of 13.02.2026Решение № I/3-3 от 13.02.2026 (captured from an official Mariupol information channel), was previously a scanned ruling with no extractable text layer. Now legible (2026-06-19) via a first-page render plus a full 23-page text-recognition pass: it is the Mariupol City Council'sМариупольский городской совет ДНР decision to include specific municipally-owned residential units into the list of housing that may be issued as compensation to OTHER displaced claimants — not returned to these units' original owners — citing DNR Law No. 141-RZ (18.12.2024)Закон ДНР от 18.12.2024 № 141-РЗ.

First page of Решение № I/3-3, Mariupol city council compensation-housing decision — First page of the ruling. Captured 2026-02-14, made legible by text-recognition pass 2026-06-19.

Unverified OCR lead — not a confirmed figure

OCR across the full appendix found roughly 10 units at 104, 8 at 106, and 8 at 108 (cadastral numbers recovered per-row); 110 did not show a clean match. This count is from raw OCR on a dense multi-column table and has NOT been manually verified row-by-row. Treat as a strong lead, not a confirmed figure. Next step: a structured per-row re-extraction before this count is cited as evidence-grade.

If confirmed, this is the missing reallocation endpoint for 104/106/108 — the apartments these buildings' own residents were registry-stripped from being redirected into a compensation pool for a different population of claimants, dated barely four months before this find. That would directly support the Rome Statute art. 8(2)(b)(viii) population-transfer reading with a specific dated instrument rather than an inferred pattern.

06 · Reallocation, demand side

Two of these listings advertise Rosreestr registration as a bankable guarantee to buyers — the occupation's title apparatus presenting a Ukrainian-owned apartment as cleanly transferable. The compensation-housing decision (§05) may represent a different, more consequential reallocation channel than individual resale for 104/106/108.

07 · Accountability endpoints

Every claim is supportable from the occupation's own records

CoE RD4U · Restitution

A3.1 — residential damage (siege/demolition decree) A3.6 — loss of access (physical exclusion + 91 registry actions in 106)

Residents cannot get inside, let alone reassert title, regardless of which paper track is "true."

Rome Statute · Criminal

8(2)(a)(iv) — unlawful appropriation (registry seizure of 91 named flats) 8(2)(b)(xiii) — disposal to third parties (resale listings, 106/108/110) 8(2)(b)(viii) — population transfer (Ruling No. I/3-3 compensation pool · lead)

Civilian harm, independent of either paper track: six residents of this building group are documented as having died during the siege and its aftermath (§03) while the buildings' legal status was contested across conflicting demolition / restoration / registry tracks. This does not change the property-law analysis — it is the human cost underlying it.

Occupation registrations, rulings, and demolition decrees are evidence of the seizure act, NOT valid title. Ukraine does not recognise them, and neither do we. Lawful owners who are living private individuals are minimised; the named deceased civilians here are from a public memorial dataset and are recorded by name as the documentary point. The unverified OCR count in §05 is flagged as a lead, not a confirmed figure.
