A report from a warming center for the homeless, organized by the Synodal Charity Department of the Russian Orthodox Church. The tent is located on Nikoloyamskaya Street, between Taganskaya and Kurskaya metro stations. In the first 10 days of its operation this year, it was visited by 900 people. Up to 50 people can be inside the tent at one time. It is heated by two industrial heat guns and powered by an electric generator. The center requires 200 liters of diesel fuel each day to operate. The homeless are provided with hot meals.

On January 10, 2014, upon being released after more than two years in prison, teacher and former director of a community center Ilya Farber held a protest outside the Tver pre-trial detention center. His son scattered metal stars from epaulettes onto the ground, which Farber then crushed underfoot, declaring that it was these stars that represented the people "destroying lives and families." Farber had been convicted of bribery and sentenced to eight years in a maximum-security prison — a sentence later reduced. His case sparked public outcry due to questionable evidence, an unusually harsh sentence for corruption, and displays of xenophobia during the trial.
