STORYLINE
With freezing temperatures dropping as low as minus 26 degrees Celsius at night, homeless people are some of the most vulnerable in Russia's capital Moscow.
Some of those in need go to an Orthodox church where hot food is provided by a group of volunteers.
It is usually a bowl soup with rolls and a cup of hot tea.
Valery, one of the volunteers, said the the cold weather usually brings more homeless people to their food facility.
At any other time of the year, on the other days everything is different, he said.
Our cooks cook very well, so everybody is always satisfied, he added.
There have been a number of deaths throughout Russia recently, due the freezing temperatures.
Since temperatures plunged below minus 18 degrees Celsius in Moscow and minus 50 degrees in Siberia, local media has reported that more than 50 people have died from weather-related illnesses.
During the cold snap, 722 people have been injured, 371 have been hospitalised and 56 have died, RIA-Novosti reported, citing hypothermia and frostbite as among the most common weather-related illnesses.
The Emergency Situations Ministry issued warnings to residents of 15 Russian regions, including Kamchatka, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Irkutsk and the Khanty-Mansiisk autonomous district, where the cold has also disrupted energy supplies.
Freezing temperatures are said to have even affected typically warm regions.
