Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Solokhta” as human settlement in Kaduysky District, Vologda Oblast, Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2002—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Solokhta, human and settlement can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as human settlement in Kaduysky District, Vologda Oblast, Russia. 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 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4428468. Authority coordinates are 59.361, 37.138. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
