btw Ukraine has a huge open data platform; basically if you know someone's name or even just a phone number, their address is likely in one of those public domain multi-gigabyte json files, together with some miscellaneous info like crime history, parents and list of government progams.
Unfortunately only expired ids are public.

That's terrible. I don't understand why governments do that.
