The most recent fire happened on 8 February, in which four people were killed. Local police say an investigation into the incident is under way.
On 7 February, nine Tajik labor migrants died in nearly identical circumstances in Moscow's Dolgoprudny region.
Following the 7 February fire, police reportedly evicted some 300 Tajik migrant workers from their homes, all in the same area of Dolgoprudny.
That fire was preceded by a similar fire on 3 February, also in Dolgoprudny, in which three Tajiks -- two women and a child -- were killed.
It remains unclear what started any of the fires. RFE/RL's attempts to get an official response to the matter have been unsuccessful for three days.
