someone is modifying maps, creating streets with political messages. In this case, check Manassas, in Virginia USA, find Mike Garcia Drive, you can see a fake intersecting street in Russian saying Russia starts all conflicts in the world. I am attaching a screenshot.
I didn’t remove the street so someone can figure out who’s doing that.
Basically, someone (presumably a salty Ukraine user who got in trouble before, alongside protesting against the war in Ukraine) has been vandalising OSM for quite a while, practically once a month and the spree happens for quite a while now. The DWG is working on it non-stop, though, so the vandalised data comes and goes.
A thread exists for more in detail with various discussions about it:
The DWG is working on reverting the streets, removing these ways yourself will make that procedure harder, and some eager people were timed out due to their interference.
