People living in dormitory of "Mosshelk"-corporation are being illegally evicted due to commercial interests. Anti-fascist and anarchist activists came 19th of January in order to defend dwellers, and found private security blocking off the dwellers.

Currently two anarchists are facing felony charges for the action. More information: http://avtonom.org/en/news/two-anarchists-defending-tenants-eviction-are-arrested-moscow
