I believe that during the Soviet era, almost every position will be "on the guard" not just the yard keeper (as depicted in "The Diamond Arm" of 1968). After the Soviet era, yard-keeping services are way understaffed to be useful for that, and also mostly rely on immigrant labor lately. Still, you can never be sure.


I wasn't aware that Russia has immigrant labor, though I shouldn't have been surprised given their relative economic strength.


Some music video commentary on russian immigrant labour:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ugivNRYfjc (Russian artist — for the taxi driving character introduced at 3:30)

these are all from about a decade back; there's no doubt been much more since...


Notes from the Underground Internets.


It is rather dark —an almost impenetrable night— in this crocodile, but at least it has USB-C charging and the 5G reception is excellent, so —thus far anyway— it hasn't affected my HN habit.

(I must admit I ♥ the MC Doni lyric: "إن شاء الله или c'est la vie". Anyone know of a lyrical line that beats it, either with four languages, or scripts written in three different directions [r-to-l, l-to-r, u-to-d?], etc?)


Russia has enough immigrant labor to fuel the existence of things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_Against_Illegal_Immig....


Tajikistan's embassy and consulates are situated in 5 out of 6 Western districts of Russia, guess why.
