If your home is dear to you
Moscow volunteers organized round-the-clock duty in the dormitory of the weaving factory on Baumanskaya street, from where the owner company is trying to evict four families. "Red Worker" actually closed in the late 90s. The current inhabitants of the house at 58/25 Baumanskaya Street have been living there since the early 80s.
In 2003, OAO "Rossiyanka" (that's what the "Red Rabotannitsa" is called after privatization) transferred the hostel, together with the tenants, to the authorized capital of Kvinta LLC. Since February of this year, Kvinta has been rebuilding the house to turn it into a hotel. The residents of the dormitory were offered to move to the other wing of the building in small rooms (6 square meters per person) and conclude contracts for commercial housing with Kvinta.
In March, the tenants filed a lawsuit to privatize the rooms they occupied, after which Quinta accelerated efforts to evict. With the onset of cold weather, heating was not given to the building, the guards tried several times to turn it off electricity, prohibit "outsiders" from visiting residents. A few days ago, representatives of "Quinta" beat an elderly resident. Now she is in the hospital with a concussion.
On December 8, residents took part in a procession of dormitory residents and doctors being evicted from service housing. Approximately 100 people came to the agreed action.
