Residents of the Nevsky residential complex in Mariupol, which was visited by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on March 18, have been evicted from the apartments they were given.

Source. This was reported by the Verstka media outlet with reference to a closed chat of the residential complex and comments from residents.

"Certificates of ownership will not be issued until they check the legality of the apartment. And there have already been cases of eviction if it turns out that there is other housing available," one of the residents wrote in the chat.

In addition to the availability of other housing, the reason for eviction may be a mistake by the tenant verification committee, says a resident of Nevsky. According to her, she has a small share in her parents' apartment, which is why she also fears eviction.

"In any case, it's kind of idiotic: first to make people happy, let them buy furniture, settle in, and then take away their housing," says another resident.

Several people in the chat room also complained that they could not obtain ownership certificates because of the verification of the "legality of obtaining" the apartment by the prosecutor's office. According to Viktoria (name changed), she applied to the occupation authorities in Mariupol for a certificate of ownership, but was told that the prosecutor's office must first check the legality of the apartment.

At the same time, residents believe that they need to submit a collective application on the website of the President of the Russian Federation, as "in this case, everything is quickly resolved."

Background. on March 18, late in the evening, Putin visited Mariupol for the first time, where he stopped by the Nevsky residential complex, which is considered the hallmark of the city destroyed by the Russian army. While Putin was talking to residents of the residential complex, an unidentified woman in the background shouted: "It's all a lie, it's all for show!"

After that, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, who was accompanying Putin, began to smile in embarrassment, and the president's security began to look around. The shout was later cut from the video, which was published on the Kremlin's website.

As TSN wrote, social media users recognized several residents of Mariupol who allegedly met with Putin. Some of the people in the video were engaged in looting during the bombing, according to local residents.
