Regional activists have launched a map to track military commissariat raids.
Regional activists have launched an online map to track raids by military recruitment offices and law enforcement officers. The service allows users to anonymously mark locations where Russians are served summonses, have their documents checked, and are detained.
How did the idea of creating a people's map come about?
The interactive map contains up-to-date markers from various Russian cities. Anyone can submit information about current events anonymously and securely, activists told the publication "NeMoskva."
When raids began in Penza, we thought about it and decided that a public map like this would be useful. So that people could warn each other remotely, but without being visible.
Initially, the project's creators created the tags themselves, often using archival data on past events in Penza. However, over time, users themselves actively contributed to the resource's content.
Geography of marks and the service's operating principle
As a result, citizens began sending in information about what was happening in real time. Furthermore, users are sharing specific details and even photographic evidence.
And not just an archive, but what's happening there now—they saw a bus there, police with civilians standing there, a checkpoint set up there. There was even a photo from Nizhnevartovsk.
Consequently, the project's geography quickly expanded to cover key regions of the country. According to the project's creators, signals are coming from a wide range of regions—Moscow, St. Petersburg, cities in Bashkortostan, Mordovia, and the Kostroma and Stavropol regions.
