More than two million people in Russia are thought to be homeless and living without state benefits and healthcare. Their chances of returning to a normal life are slim, but some people are trying to make a difference.

It is good that RT brings situations like this to light. Homelessness and poverty are present in most, if not all, countries of the world. Most countries choose to sort of look the other way or pretend that it is not there. Some cities choose to pay for a bus ticket and transport the problem to another geographical location. The super rich are so high and mighty that they cannot be bothered with things like that.
