Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kholodnohirskyi District” as district of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1930, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1919. The account is most persuasive where Kholodnohirskyi, District and district can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as district of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7242862. Authority coordinates are 49.995, 36.177. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1930 and 2016.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
