The houses are gone. It's not like they can do anything now. Why bother? I'd run. My faith in my fellow man is not very high. But now you have a bunch of near homeless people running around who aren't used to that. Something happened and now circles of frustration, the government then to each other. Lashing out. Anger, attempt to bargin, slight depression to acceptance. Isn't there somewhere else that has been set aside for them to go in the temporary? Probably not. They were warned.

Listen,Sarah.. You really do not understand what are you talking about...

Moscow Government gave the green light to demolish thousands of

Moscow City Memorial Buildings, Memorial Architectures. Moscow City is loosing its historical face and people is loosing their National History and Treasures.

And this demolition is going under city care and development souce.There is nothing about homeless people...You're naive or worth . Actually it's about somebody's business. To get place in Moscow center for new restaurant with undeground parking or something like this. Demolition is black opposition of restoration. 

Restoration is a new life for old memorial building for next centures..
