In response to Russia's imperialist aggression against Ukraine, Livingstone decided to sell Russian territory piece by piece and transfer the collected money to Ukraine.
For this purpose, the company created the platform RUSSIAFORSALE.ORG where any person can choose and buy any region of Russia in the form of an NFT and declare it as his own. In the process of working on the platform, Livingstone collected and analyzed the geographical data of the administrative regions of Russia and created 2,443 hand-made NFT items. Each item is unique and has a counterpart in the real world. Each NFT has its own name, area and is assigned an authentic emblem. The collection is also available on the NFT Opensea market: https://opensea.io/collection/russiaforsale
and 100% of the funds received are directly credited to the beneficiary organization of the project, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. Each transaction is transparent and its record can be verified by anyone.
The campaign was officially launched on April 10, 2022. According to the results of the first two weeks, the campaign was actively covered by TV channels, appeared in 134 articles in various popular online publications, sparked discussions on social networks and reached a total of 2,600,000 people. A total of 7.4 ETH has been collected so far and the campaign is still ongoing. Some NFT territories were purchased anonymously by Russian citizens themselves who left the country due to Putin's regime.
Livingstone believes that with the efforts of buyers, the Russia for Sale project can continue to exist in the long term and raise necessary funds for Ukraine.
