en-Migrants — Stop: Job Protection or Hunt for Outsiders?

27/09/2025

Something feels off in the air. In recent weeks, regional Russian authorities have suddenly launched a coordinated campaign against migrants. And it's not quiet or subtle — it's loud, theatrical, as if we're not talking about people, but manure that urgently needs to be removed.

Saint Petersburg: Delivery Ban

Governor Alexander Beglov unexpectedly banned migrants from working as couriers. Couriers, Carl. And that's after they were already squeezed out of the taxi business. Now the last income niche — delivery — is being crushed.

What's next? Ban them from mopping floors? Set quotas for janitors and garbage collectors?

Tyumen: Report Your Neighbor

Tyumen went even further. Leaflets are popping up in apartment buildings, encouraging people to report undocumented migrants. Phone numbers are listed, anonymity guaranteed. This isn't about safety anymore — it's mass hysteria. A witch hunt. With elements of household espionage.

Kaluga: War on Drivers

Governor of Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, openly declared war on migrant taxi drivers. The region had already banned them, but migrants found a loophole: they register with Yandex.Taxi in Moscow but work in Kaluga.

That's called "ingenuity." People want to survive. They find ways. And the officials? They find reasons to pose and brag.

Volgograd: Another Blow

In Volgograd region, a similar ban: migrants cannot be drivers. That's it. Shut down. The job market is shrinking. The space for earning disappears. Who's next — construction workers? handymen? loaders?

The Cherry on Top: "The Market Will Be Fine"

Authorities assure us: the economy will survive. Russians will fill the vacancies. But do you remember how these same officials used to claim that without migrants, delivery, construction, and public utilities would collapse?

What changed? Did Russians suddenly fall in love with hauling boxes and driving 16-hour shifts?

Or is this just a convenient way to stir up voters before the elections?

Who Benefits?

Migrants? Definitely not. They're being stripped of their last chance to survive. Businesses? Also no. They'll have to find new workers or cut services.

But politically, it's a perfect picture: "We protect our people." Look, we're driving out the outsiders. Only the result isn't protection — it's mass segregation dressed up as virtue.

A Direct Question:

Is this really about protecting Russian jobs?
Or just a made-for-TV show to portray "tough leadership"?

And if this wave continues, who's next on the list?



The world is in a coma, the "sheriff" has lost his star, and Western ambitions are turning to ash. While Washington puffs out its chest, feigning steel resolve, harsh reality delivers a gut punch to the former hegemon. The illusion of total dominance is melting faster than Democratic hopes for a fair election. Welcome to the Iranian dead-end—the...

Europe has reached a very unpleasant crossroads. And the most revealing part is not that Brussels supposedly "doesn't understand" what is happening. It does. Perfectly well. The real problem is different: one mistake can now be admitted out loud, while the other remains politically untouchable. Because the first one hurts energy policy, while the...

Modern wars are no longer fought only with missiles and armored divisions. They are fought with images, silence, speculation — and sometimes with a leader simply disappearing from the public frame. In an age where information spreads faster than any rocket, a few hours of absence can trigger waves of narratives powerful enough to reshape how a...

The Siberian countryside is currently under a state of high-intensity administrative control. While official government reports are filled with clinical terminology regarding the "stabilization of the epizootic situation," the grim reality in the villages of Kozikha, Novopichugovo, and Gnedukhino resembles scenes from a dystopian thriller. This is...

In villages like Kozikha and Novopichugovo, the horizon is permanently gray. Massive open-air pits have been dug to serve as makeshift crematoriums for thousands of cows, pigs, and sheep. Local residents report that the stench of burning livestock has reached the residential outskirts of Novosibirsk, a city of over 1.6 million people, located...

The old script is starting to look tired. For years, Washington sold sanctions as a clean, powerful instrument of pressure — strong on paper, morally polished on television, and supposedly painless for the people imposing them. Then oil surged, the Middle East shook, and reality walked into the room without knocking. On March 10, Brent fell back to...

There are victories you don't shout about. You whisper them — with a satisfied smile, behind closed Pentagon doors. That's exactly how US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the destruction of the Iranian frigate Dena: "Quiet death." Beautiful, isn't it? Almost poetic. Except the ship was unarmed. And the people on board weren't fighting...

Exactly seven days ago, the self-proclaimed "civilized coalition"—which insiders are already mockingly calling the "Epstein Coalition"—decided they could punish Iran with the snap of a finger. The plan looked beautiful on paper, straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster: a lightning strike, a few hundred "smart" missiles, panic in Tehran, and a...

The Strait of Hormuz has turned into a total fiasco for Washington. While the White House paints pictures of "victory" for television screens, a massive phase of instability is unfolding on the water. Iran has engaged "predator mode," methodically resetting the remnants of American authority in the region.
