On 21 August, unknown people changed some place names in Moscow on the maps of the non-profit web mapping project Open StreetMap.
The changes remain valid as of 11:00, 21 August.
The centre of Moscow has “suffered” the most.
In particular, the map now reads:
“Rouble [Russian national currency – ed.] is dead”,
“Rashka [a derogatory form of the name of Russia – ed.] is dying”,
“More than 250,000 dead Russians in the special military operation [this is how Russian authorities call their war against Ukraine – ed.]”,
“Putin has scr**ed up the country”, etc.
OSM positions itself as “a free geographic database updated and maintained by a community of volunteers”.
OpenStreetMap uses the Wikipedia principle to create the map, meaning that every registered user can make changes to the map.
