Venäjän Potemkinin kulissit käsittää vaan 5% siitä 80%:sta Mariupolia, mitä Venäjä tuhos.
Mariupol residents are desperately trying to stop Russia from demolishing what remains of their bombed apartment blocks, as what the Russians ‘rebuild’, they then ‘sell’ for profit, with such apartments “not envisaged” for their real owners.

The reality, as always, is very different. Around 80% of homes in the private sector were devastated during Russia’s siege of the city in 2022, with this amounting to around 30 thousand residential buildings. The Russian-installed Mariupol ‘mayor’ claimed on 12 September that 1600 private homes had been reinstated. There were expressions of open disbelief and anger from local residents, who demanded to know where exactly the so-called ‘authorities’ were concealing these buildings.
Vadym Boichenko, Mariupol’s real Mayor, responded by calculating that the figure of 1600 would still only amount to around 5% of the buildings having been restored, with that only if you believe such claims. The figure is likely, in any case, to be inflated, but also includes the work that local residents have been forced to do, at their own cost. Having not raised a finger to help them, the occupiers then claim credit for such restored buildings.

The methods used to leave Ukrainians living in their own city homeless are so breathtakingly cynical that even the local occupation TV channel reported on them, with scenes from this program fortunately saved and posted by Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky. One especially shocking ploy is to refuse any compensation to residents who own another property. The channel interviewed a woman whose family, consisting of seven people, lived in the apartment block on 82 Nakhimov St which was devastated by Russian shelling. By the Russian invaders’ ‘logic’, they are entitled to nothing because they “have another property” – a dacha construction of around 8 metres, in which all members of the family would scarcely be able to fit in at one time.
