Recently, Sevastopol gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhaev stated that in the occupied city, “a large number of territories are in a gray zone,” and that “there are many plots and properties that people… have not reregistered within the Russian legal framework.”
The gauleiter complemented these revelations about the “lack of awareness” of Sevastopol residents with a “stream of optimism” regarding the recent “liquidation” of the so-called “department of state registration of rights and cadastre,” and the occupiers’ creation of a structure from the “Federal service for state registration, cadastre, and cartography” in its place.
This “transfer to the federal level,” according to the gauleiter, will simplify “registration at the initiative of the authorities” for the occupiers and “speed up the process” of both “registering” land and real estate owners and their subsequent “de-registration.”
It’s not hard to guess what commercial goals Razvozhaev’s entourage is pursuing in “expediting the re-registration of real estate.”
The “authorities” desire to seize prime real estate and resell it to developers of yet more high-rises for Russian colonizers is well illustrated by the events surrounding the communications building, previously registered by the occupiers to the so-called “Sevtelecom” and “sold” in 2025 to a certain Anna Lysenko for a rather symbolic sum.
The building is now being prepared for demolition to make way for yet another “human anthill.”
Also, since March, on the site of the former “Era” plant, “special developer” Arsen Gafarov, “Diamant,” has hastily begun constructing an “apartment building with underground parking” for the next batch of occupiers. It’s easy to imagine that the number of such scams involving Sevastopol developments will not decrease in 2026.
