In St. Petersburg, medical students were forced to clear snow from paid parking lots. There are not enough janitors due to mass deportation of migrants

About a hundred medical students were forced to clear snow in St. Petersburg early in the morning of December 17 - they were clearing a paid parking lot on Konnaya Street, Fontanka writes . There was no money paid for cleaning, only volunteer “high hours”, which provide a bonus upon admission to residency.

An offer to earn “high hours” for snow removal arrived the day before in university chat rooms. In one of them, the curator wrote: “We won’t get caught up, I promise you that.” Participants were recorded in a separate Google spreadsheet. Thus, the data of one and a half hundred people, including full names, dates of birth, phone numbers, links to personal accounts on VKontakte, as well as information about the university, faculty, group and ID from the volunteer platform Dobro.ru, were actually in the public domain, writes “ Fontanka".

Earlier, the publication wrote that in St. Petersburg, student teams are counting on 2,000 snow removal jobs. It is assumed that students will be able to work no more than 4 hours a day and during this time receive a thousand rubles. However, they decided not to pay medical students any money.

The Insider's source in Smolny noted that the shortage of janitors is directly related to the anti-migrant policy of the authorities: by September, since the beginning of the year, more than seven thousand patents for migrant workers have been canceled in St. Petersburg, and this is 4 times more than for the entire 2023.

There is also a shortage of couriers in Russia. In the summer of 2024, a shortage of goods in the Pyaterochka retail chain began in three Russian regions. The reason is the same - the mass deportation of migrants from Russia. Media reports that problems are observed in the Ivanovo, Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions.
