Abstract
The aim of the article is to elucidate the symbolic function of the underexplored geopolitically motivated phenomenon of toponymic solidarity. Based on the critical toponymic approach and the theories of political performativity, the authors examine the toponymic solidarity with Ukraine as a powerful spatial-political technology that emerged globally following the ongoing full-scale Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022. Drawing upon empirical data from media resources, archival materials, and in-situ observations, they unveil the geopolitical role of performative toponymic solidarity as a form of symbolic toponymic gifting both worldwide and in Ukraine. Concomitantly, two collateral spatial processes are revealed, including toponymic gratefulness as a reciprocal co-performance in Ukraine and toponymic retaliation as a counter-performance in Russia. In conclusion, the article advances the political toponymy literature by expanding the performative understanding of space through the lens of geopolitical place naming/renaming practices of toponymic solidarity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
