The “Nochlezhka” charity organization is assisting individuals who have been mistakenly declared dead to restore their documents and legal status. These cases arise when people are wrongly identified as deceased, often due to misidentification or lack of contact with relatives.

Lawyers at “Nochlezhka” regularly encounter individuals facing challenges with their documentation, including those officially listed as dead. They help people navigate the complex legal procedures required to overturn these declarations.

One case involves a man named Maxim, who discovered he had been declared dead since 2006 after his ex-wife identified a body as his. He is now working with “Nochlezhka” to regain his legal identity.

Another man had been mistakenly declared dead twice, once during his military service and again in 1997. He learned of his second death when he returned to his hometown and found his own gravestone.

In another instance, a man named Ivan was declared dead after relatives misidentified a fire victim as him. “Nochlezhka” is currently assisting him in restoring his documents, with hope for a positive outcome.

The process of “resurrection” involves court proceedings and can be complicated by the fact that individuals lacking valid documents may face difficulties accessing the legal system. “Nochlezhka” provides support throughout this process.
