A resident walks amidst heavy smog in the village of Kriusha, effected by wildfires, some 250 km (155 miles) southeast of the capital in Ryazan region, August 7, 2010. Forest and peat fires by the highest temperatures ever registered in Russia have killed at least 52 people, made more than 4,000 homeless, diverted many flights and forced Muscovites to wear surgical masks to filter out foul air.
