It's also a low-cost good will gesture, and a way to calibrate the cameras.

The successful launch of 3 new crewmembers to the ISS by Russia on 11/27 has apparently damaged the launch facility.
The launch pad was equipped with a service platform for accessing the Soyuz booster lower stages. It is rolled into a protective area prior to launch. Upon launch, it appears to have come loose and fallen into the flame trench.
The upshot is that since Russia only has this specific launch pad for Soyuz boosters - including MS spacecraft and Progress supply ships - they can't launch anything to the ISS until repairs are done.

Looks like they managed to fix the toilet problem (which was a fan controller inside the unit).
