Claim: Zhestky is a territory of Russia (Zhestky, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-09-30): At a ceremony attended by Russian-installed heads of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, and of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Russian President Valdimir Putin signed four separate agreements on the admission of new territories to the Russian Federation. Ahead of the announcement, Putin on Thursday formally recognized Kherson and Zaporizhzhia as independent states. [...] That included large parts of the north, such as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and a corridor of territory that reached to the edge of Kyiv. Russian forces also took large swathes of the south, especially in the agriculturally-rich Kherson region. [...] And with the recent announcement, the Kremlin has set itself an objective of expanding that territory to incorporate those parts of the four regions it sees as annexed into Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed on Friday that the "entire territory" of Ukraine would be liberated, calling Russia’s "attempted annexation" a "farce."
Claim: Zhestky is a territory of Russia (Zhestky, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-22): The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev as president of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the start of the USSR’s collapse—but not the collapse itself. While the USSR ceased to exist as a legal entity after 1991, the collapse of the USSR is still happening today. The two Chechen Wars, Russia’s invasion of Georgia in 2008, Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, the on-and-off border skirmishes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and the 2020 Second Karabakh War between Armenia and Azerbaijan are just a few examples showing that the Soviet Union is still collapsing today. [...] - Russia will further fragment. The dissolution of the Russian Federation, whether de facto or de jure, could shatter Russia geopolitically. This further fragmentation will likely not be as straightforward or "clean cut" as the emergence of the 15 new states after the legal dissolution of the USSR in 1991. Policymakers should assume that further fragmentation of Russia will be more like Chechnya in 1994 (brutal conflict) than Estonia in 1991(peaceful and straightforward), for example. [...] 6. What does the US need to do to coordinate an international or regional response to resolving existing border disputes between the Russian Federation and some of its neighbors? These include the disputed islands of Ukatnyy, Zhestky, and Maly Zhemchuzhny in the Caspian Sea,6 the Estonian-Russian de facto border,7 the status of the Northern Territories,8 and possibly the Karelian Question.9 These might seem small issues to Western policymakers located thousands of miles away, but each has the potential to become a regional problem that could have global implications.

Evidence (2017-02-01): Maly Zhemchuzhny will become a nature reserve In the Astrakhan Oblast, it is planned to join Maly Zhemchuzhny Island to the Astrakhanskiy State Biosphere Nature Reserve. The island is unique and needs a special protected status. There, in spring and autumn, you can see large haul outs of the Caspian seal (the endemic species to the Caspian, which is under threat of extinction). On Maly Zhemchuzhny, there are also large colonies of birds – the great black-headed gull, Caspian tern, and gull. This important project of the nature reserve has been supported by the administration of the Astrakhan Oblast, but finally the issue will be resolved only after its coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia, since Maly Zhemchuzhny Natural Monument and the nature reserve have a protected status of federal significance.

Evidence (2020-04-15): The island is a state nature monument of federal significance, located in the northwestern part of the Caspian Sea. Maliy Zhemchuzhniy is known as a nesting site for a number of rare birds, and as a rookery for the Caspian seal. The island is inhabited by two species of birds listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation – the great black-headed gull (Larus ichthyaetus) and the Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia). In addition to these species, the Caspian gull (Larus cachinnans) and the Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) nest on Maliy Zhemchuzhniy. Maliy Zhemchuzhniy is a stopping place for migratory species of birds. On the island, Dalmatian pelicans (Pelecanus crispus) were found. They use Maliy Zhemchuzhniy as a resting place after hunting. [...] The researchers made a planned mapping of the coastline of Maliy Zhemchuzhniy. This is necessary because the island changes its shape every year and shifts due to strong storms. This year, there was a significant change in its configuration. Washings were formed in the form of sharp increases, as well as areas of strong depressions. All information and materials received during the expedition will be analyzed and replenish the treasury of knowledge about Maliy Zhemchuzhniy.
Claim: Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy is a territory of Kazakhstan (Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-06): European Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Europalyq Qazaqstan, Qazaqstannyñ europalyq bölıgı, Russian: Европейская часть Казахстана) is the western part of the territory of Kazakhstan. It is geographically situated in Europe, as opposed to the country's sparsely populated and vastly larger eastern part, which is situated in Central Asia. The Ural River divides Kazakhstan into two parts, bisecting the Eurasian supercontinent. European Kazakhstan geographically lies in Eastern Europe, with its area of over 148,000 square kilometres (57,000 sq mi), which makes Kazakhstan the 14th-largest country in Europe with a population of about 1 million. Two capitals of regions are located in European part of Kazakhstan — Uralsk and Atyrau. [...] The presence of European territory in Kazakhstan is a strong argument in favor of its European status from a geographical point of view and potential membership in the European Union.[2][3] In 2009, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Russia, Adilbek Dzhaksybekov, stated: "We would like to join the European Union in the future, but not as Estonia and Latvia, but as an equal partner."[4]
Claim: Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy is a territory of Kazakhstan (Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-08): The vegetation on plains and deserts includes wormwood and tamarisk, with feather grass on drier plains. Kazakhstan has very little wooded area, amounting to only about 3 percent of the territory. Many animals, including antelope and elk, inhabit the plains. The wolf, bear, and snow leopard, as well as the commercially important ermine and sable, are found in the hills. Fishermen take sturgeon, herring, and roach from the Caspian Sea. In parts of northeastern and southwestern Kazakhstan, where commercial fishing collapsed as a result of industrial and agricultural pollution, efforts to revive fish populations have shown some success. In 2008 Kazakhstan’s Naurzum and Korgalzhyn state nature reserves were named a UNESCO World Heritage site; both are important habitats for migrating birds, as well as for many other animal species.
Claim: Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy is a territory of Kazakhstan (Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): The Kazakh territory was a key constituent of the Eurasian trading Steppe Route, the ancestor of the terrestrial Silk Roads. Archaeologists believe that humans first domesticated the horse in the region's vast steppes. During recent prehistoric times, Central Asia was inhabited by groups such as the possibly Indo-European Afanasievo culture,[29] later early Indo-Iranian cultures such as Andronovo,[30] and later Indo-Iranians such as the Saka and Massagetae.[31][32] Other groups included the nomadic Scythians and the Persian Achaemenid Empire in the southern territory of the modern country. The Andronovo and Srubnaya cultures, precursors to the peoples of the Scythian cultures, were found to harbor mixed ancestry from the Yamnaya Steppe herders and peoples of the Central European Middle Neolithic.[33] [...] - ^ a b "On Administrative-Territorial Division of the Republic of Kazakhstan, The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 8 December 1993".
