The Soviet Union had a problem with homelessness, I used to use it as an example of how even the soviets couldn’t stop some males from wanting to live outdoors and live as alcoholics, in other words homelessness went far beyond not having an apartment if even the soviets couldn’t stop men from doing it.

My understanding is there is quite a bit of homelessness now, in the Russian Federation. This is according to my close friend who spent years in Russia as a missionary.

The general rule was 101th kilometer. The law said you had to drive the homeless this far from a major city and then you could just throw him out.

That was done often, but not always, because the Militzia didn’t want to take these long drives and instead they made the homeless hide when there was some international event.
