This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Zherdevo, Fatezhsky District, Kursk Oblast” as human settlement in Fatezhsky District, Kursk Oblast, Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as human settlement in Fatezhsky District, Kursk Oblast, Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18776643. Authority coordinates are 52.199, 35.892. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 2008 and 2013.
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.
