Question
Is there a need for a mezuzah on the elevator door in a house in Moscow when there is only one apartment on the floor?
Answer
If the mezuzah will be preserved and there is no concern that a non-Jew will remove it or treat it disrespectfully, a mezuzah should be placed on the right side of the exit from the elevator towards the stairwell.
