About 2,000 people were evacuated from the first high-rise after a call about the threat of arrival of a kamikaze drone

The decision to evacuate the second tower has not yet been made

The Moscow City Court on Aug. 18 liquidated the Sakharov Center, a non-governmental organization focused on human rights, education, and culture.

The center was opened in 1996 to honor his legacy and to draw attention to the history and legacy of repression in the Soviet Union.

In 2014, the center was added to the list of foreign agents.

After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Sakharov Center received a variety of complaints from the Ministry of Justice.

There was an order to be evicted from its Moscow office in March 2023.

Sergei Lukashevsky said the decision to liquidate the center was 'disgusting, but reflects reality.'
