This is where police bring little ones rescued from vile, infested apartments used by addicts and drunks. This is where Fyodor arrived when he was a few days old. Many of the children suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome or HIV. All receive medical and psychological evaluation before being placed in orphanages throughout the metropolis, which is home to more than 5 million people. The number of them left at Hospital Number 15 has tripled in the last decade, said the harried director, Dr. Anatoly Zhelezhov. The facility can barely cope, despite generous donations from the Buckner Foundation in Dallas and other Western charities."
