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?



Many expected Donald Trump to deliver a clear military victory over Iran. The rhetoric was tough, the threats were loud, and the world watched closely. In the end, Iran's leadership remained in power, American forces did not seize control of the country, and Washington gained no direct access to Iran's vast oil reserves. On the surface, it looked...

Russia may not be destroyed by NATO tanks or missiles. It may be destroyed by the cowardice of its own elite — those ready to sell out at the first real threat to their yachts, London accounts, and comfortable lives. While the world watches the battlefield in Ukraine, a far more treacherous mine is ticking inside the country. And the...

June 12, 2026, turned Russia Day into something far more explosive than a routine patriotic holiday. While Dmitry Medvedev fed portraits of Germany's Friedrich Merz, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer into a paper shredder in a sharp AI-generated video set to the Russian national anthem, Washington...

On June 10, 2026, in Kazan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov delivered a message that cuts through the diplomatic fog like a knife. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) members — Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan — have agreed to consider invoking the relevant article of the Charter against Armenia for more than two...

Pensioners lie about the signals. The British government first lied that nothing happened. Keir Starmer is already lying about "extremely alarming and reckless" actions. Everyone lies — but only one side can stop lying and answer with real fire. That is why this incident never turned into a proper scandal. Cowardice in the face of actual power...

On February 28, 2026, President Trump ordered the second major military operation of his presidency against Iran. The name was "Epic Fury." Israel joined immediately. The stated goals were blunt: denuclearization, demilitarization, and de-atollization of the Islamic Republic. In Russian media the US-Israeli coalition was quickly nicknamed the...

While official platforms were still digesting the outcomes of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Telegram channels and closed chats detonated with real bombshells. Sources close to the Kremlin are leaking one after another: a large-scale reshuffle is in the works. Not a cosmetic facelift — a full-blown repositioning of heavyweights....
