Pavel lives in a Cheboksary grove. He didn’t prevent visitors from examination of his dwelling though had no desire to answer many questions…

Pavel made a dug-out on this place two years ago. He never leaves his dwelling for more than a day. He is a former convict, was arrested for a murder as he initially said, but then corrected for a fight. Pavel lost his passport. Relatives tried to forget him and do not help.

Pavel begs and returns empties and cardboard. For the earnings he buys food as much as possible to decrease his leavings.


He doesn’t complain much because he’s got used to such life. He even keeps a dog and a cat.





In his dug-out he has everything he needs: reserves of water, wheat, storage batteries, candles, salt. He doesn’t desiderate anything.

not a bad life after all
at least he is not a welfare abuser.
You haven;t heard he last of this guy. He can only support himself by crime: stealing, dealing drugs. He will kill or injure the next person to get in his way.
i doubt russia has welfare as we think of it.
Some people simply want to be “homeless”, you can’t force them, and you shouldn’t use their numbers when talking about the “failures” of any system.
(meaning, you can’t go out there and beat your political opponent over the head because of a certain number of homeless people, because they simply want to be homeless)
yeah and u simply want to be a doll in this system,maybe he got tired of this hypocritical system that u re part of who knows!!
Looks neat and organised, unlike other homeless campsites that I’ve seen. –Hopefully he can get something productive going to get back on his feet again.
As long he feel happy with his life…
