This was reported by the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, Petro Andriushchenko, on his Telegram channel Andriushchenko Time.One striking example is the situation at 133 Myr Avenue (renamed Lenin Avenue under Russian occupation). As early as 2024, the so-called “courts” of the Russian-installed administration issued rulings declaring apartments №2, 19, 20, and 33 to be “ownerless.”“Some residents didn’t manage to register ownership in the Russian registry, others couldn’t return to Mariupol, and some were unable to complete inheritance procedures due to artificial queues at the occupation ‘notaries,’” Andriushchenko explained.These are not isolated incidents — residents across Mariupol are reporting similar cases of forced evictions.For instance, at 10 Chornomorska Street, the occupation authorities are carrying out another so-called “housing inventory,” posting notices on apartment doors even when the owners are home. Despite having previously collected all the necessary documents, they are now demanding the same information again, offering no explanations and refusing to issue any official paperwork.“The second round of this farce is officially underway. This is blatant raiding under the flag of the occupation authorities — a vivid example of how Russians are rewriting the city, expelling people from their own homes, and legalizing theft through their puppet ‘courts.’ It’s a new level of Mariupol’s absurd genocide,” the statement reads.
