Headline

• 1,282 organizations in our graph are registered on Russian FTS tax-district prefixes assigned to occupied Ukrainian territory — only 35 are marked SDN (2.7%). This is the most under-sanctioned sub-corpus in the entire graph.
• 4,187 court-case edges tie those organizations into Russia's legal-infrastructure-of-annexation: cases filed by or against occupation-economy entities in Russian arbitration courts.
• 2,545 cases filed IN the six occupied-territory Russian arbitration courts themselves (АС Republic of Crimea, AC Sevastopol, AC DPR, AC LPR, AC Zaporizhzhia Oblast, AC Kherson Oblast). Filing volume went from 11 in 2014 to 663 in 2025 — a 60× increase — and the steepest growth (2024→2025 = +28%) is POST-2022 invasion, not POST-2014 Crimea annexation.
• Top designation candidates already rich with SDN neighborhood: ГУП КРЫМЭНЕРГО (68 cases / 8 SDN neighbors), ГУП ЧЕРНОМОРНЕФТЕГАЗ (41 / 5 — seized from Naftogaz 2014), ФГУП КРЫМСКАЯ ЖЕЛЕЗНАЯ ДОРОГА (31 / 4 — seized Ukrainian railway), АО Судостроительный Завод «МОРЕ» (17 / 6 — Crimean military shipbuilder at Feodosia), Crimea Council of Ministers itself (28 / 4).
• Mainland SDN entities actively litigating in occupation courts — ПАО Совкомбанк (211 cases), ГУП «Государственный зерновой оператор» (185 — the Zaporizhzhia-registered state grain operator strongly associated with the Ukrainian grain theft operation), Sberbank (136 across branches), Федеральная налоговая служба (25 — Russia asserting tax authority over occupied territory).
