Shies is a station on the border of the Arkhangelsk region and the Komi Republic, where the Russian authorities decided to build a landfill for garbage removal from Moscow. Local residents protested and set up a camp near the station, trying to interfere with the construction. The confrontation lasts for many months, sometimes turning into clashes with guards and riot police deployed to Shies.
