“Show all cities with same names in Russia.”
“show on a map”
“can you connect cities with the same names with a line?”
A 2025 Roskadastr-based publication, carried by three outlets, lists 67 city instances under 31 duplicated names: 5 names occur three times and 26 occur twice. The complete 31-name list is in the table below. The map plots the coordinates we could verify — 49 distinct cities from 51 coordinate rows found, out of 67 published instances — so it is a partial geocoding, not the full list. Namesakes are now joined by lines: 20 line segments connect 16 of the 31 name groups — the groups with at least two usable distinct points — drawn from coordinates on 8 source hosts. The other 15 names stay as unlinked grey points or are not yet geocoded.
Scope caution: the duplicate-name count is single-sourced to Roskadastr even though three outlets republished it. The Russian official scope includes internationally recognized Ukrainian territory claimed or occupied by Russia; points there are labelled with their territorial notes and the map implies no sovereignty judgment. One Sakhalin row (Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky, not an exact-name match) was excluded, and two duplicate coordinate records for Дзержинск near 56.24, 43.45 were merged into one city, so no line is drawn for either. Lines are name links only — they do not represent routes, administrative ties, borders, or sovereignty.

Data: a 2025 Roskadastr-based list of 67 Russian city instances sharing 31 names, as republished by pnp.ru, ura.news and 1rostov.tv (single original source). Coordinates: 51 rows gathered from 14 independent web hosts, reduced to 49 mapped cities after excluding one inexact Sakhalin match and merging two duplicate Дзержинск records; 18 published instances remain ungeocoded. Connecting lines: 20 geodesic segments across 16 name groups from 8 coordinate hosts (no host supplies more than 2 of 20 segments); lines mark shared names only, never routes, ties or borders. The excluded Дзержинск pair and the inexact Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky match get no line. Regions for twice-repeated names were not itemized in the publication. The map draws Natural Earth country outlines for orientation only and implies no position on territorial claims.
