From homeless to homeowner in Russia

Available for over a year

In a hamlet called Kleshchyonki, 40km from the city of Kostroma in Russia’s Golden Ring, Nikolai, 31, and Dmitri, 34, chose to buck the national trend and swapped a life of homelessness in the city for a place in the countryside. Dmitri made the decision to leave the city after losing both his legs in an accident. Picture: Nikolai (L) and Dmitri (R) in the hamlet of Kleshchyonki. Credit: BBC
