Helping refugees in Russia. An act of bravery?

The influx of refugees has become one of the major challenges for Europe in recent years, which has required a response and mobilisation.

Thousands more who have applied will never receive such status and will be eventually deported. Yet, in Russia no one really pays attention to this problem.
