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?
Imagine the scene: an official in Washington picks up a marker and confidently draws a line across the ocean, claiming a territory the size of an empire.
According to several Muslim students, that was the ultimatum delivered at medical colleges, universities and healthcare institutions in Russia's Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area.
Global food prices are climbing again. China's Sinopec is buying dozens of cargoes of Russian crude. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have signed a joint defense agreement in Mecca. Meanwhile, more than a thousand unaccompanied migrant children in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta are waiting to find out whether Europe can provide them with...

A quiet evening in Russia's Stavropol region was supposed to pass without incident. A city park in Nevinnomyssk, the "Eternal Glory" memorial, a place where people usually lower their voices and remember those who died in war. But instead of silence, the scene turned into loud music, laughter, a phone camera and four young men from Dagestan...
Kaladze's Question to NATO: Were You Ever Going to Let Georgia In?
The West has once again reached out with a smile, a peace proposal and, from Moscow's point of view, the familiar knife hidden behind its back.
Elon Musk appears ready to give Hollywood something it rarely asks for: direct competition backed by an enormous amount of money.
Vladimir Putin may soon be invited back to the main table of global politics.
During his recent visit to Berlin, Ilham Aliyev said it plainly: after Ukrainian strikes damaged Russian oil refineries, Moscow can no longer supply even its traditional clients with oil and petroleum products in the previous volumes. Azerbaijan is ready to take that place. In fact, it is already doing so.
Europe has spent years closing doors on Russia. Now Moscow has decided to stop waiting politely in the corridor and slide the bolt from its own side. From July 1, Russia temporarily suspended movement through seven railway border checkpoints connecting it with Finland, Estonia and Latvia. Five of those checkpoints are on the Finnish route.
EU Sanctions on VK and MAX Messenger: Brussels’ Digital Hypocrisy and the Privacy Paradox
26/07/2026
In an era where digital platforms define communication, commerce, and civic participation, the European Union's sanctions of 13 July 2026 against VK and its national messenger MAX reveal a striking paradox. Under the banner of protecting privacy and democratic values, Brussels has targeted a Russian super-app while simultaneously advancing its own...

Imagine this: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stands at the podium in Ankara, looks straight into the cameras, and addresses Vladimir Putin directly: "Don't play with us." It sounds like an open threat of major war. No hints, no diplomacy — a straight challenge. At the same time, the alliance claims it "never attacks anyone" and only defends...
Yesterday, on July 6, 2026, Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia, set foot on Russian soil. No red carpets, no grand ceremonies, and notably, no meeting with President Vladimir Putin. Just two women offering traditional bread and salt. Pashinyan broke off a piece, ate it, and quickly got into the car. Even a leader who flirts with the West...
