For example, some of the deported Ukrainians and their children live in the diocesan orphanage at the Pyatnytsia Episcopal house. The shelter is located in the Church of the Holy Martyr Paraskeva in the settlements of Manychska, Rostov region.
Another place for deported Ukrainians is the Starytsky Holy Dormition Monastery near Tver.
