Moscow's young homeless seek refuge in sewers...

We had been invited by a group of homeless people to see their 'winter hideout' - the spot where they hunkered down through the long and bitter Russian winter.

But it was difficult to imagine a secret hideout in a part of the city dominated by factories and distribution centres.

The second thought I had, as the wheels of our car slipped and spun in the heavy snow, was "how do they manage to survive at all?"

The temperature was plunging and it was snowing so hard, we could barely see where we were going.

Nonetheless, we saw two young men emerge from the roadside and beckon us towards a little wood, sandwiched between a several walled compounds. We followed the pair down a well-trodden path and wondered what we would find at the end. Full story...
