Russians have been flocking to Mariupol where their armed forces have caused upwards of 75,000 deaths, mass graves and widespread destruction in a frenzy of real estate speculation.

A documentary 'Shock Prices for Apartments in Mariupol,' which explores the current Mariupol real estate market, dropped on YouTube in November and is now causing waves of outrage on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter).

The abandoned and ruined houses in Mariupol are called 'razrushky,' which can be loosely translated as 'ruins.'

The film features discussions with three local real estate agents showcasing properties across the city, abandoned hastily by residents amid the chaos of war.

Natalia, one of the agents, demonstrates a rundown two-bedroom apartment in the city center, priced at 5 million rubles ($50,000).

The Russian authorities introduced a preferential 2% mortgage for residents of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).

Locals receive 35,000 rubles ($390) per square meter in compensation for destroyed housing.

Even if the demolished apartment was around 50 square meters, they would only get $19,500.

The enemy jams cellular signals during the movement of Russian equipment, so that people do not report information to the Defence Forces in real time.
