Russia Bans Minorities from Retail Jobs
By • 6/9/08We live in an age in which sanity on racial and ethnic issues is so rare that we are astonished to encounter it. Thus yesterday, I was amazed to read this article about a recent law passed by the Russian government banning non-Russians from certain classes of retail jobs. In the future, any time you buy a newspaper, a pound of apples, or a bottle of perfume in Russia, the person selling it to you will be a Russian, not a Chinese, Chechen, Tajik, or Georgian. Thus the Russian nation proudly sides with its own people against the leukophobic, multiculturalist Western establishment. The article is well worth reading, particularly for its priceless quote from an “anti-racist” activist who says that things were much better under the communists!
Russia-for-Russians law seen as racist pandering
New Zealand Herald
MOSCOW - Migrant workers in Russia found themselves legislated out of a job yesterday after a controversial new law reserving retail jobs for ethnic Russians came into force.
The legislation, which has been described as state-sponsored racism by human rights activists, bans non-Russians from working in large swaths of the country’s retail sector.
It will affect Russia’s food and clothing markets and the thousands of roadside kiosks that sell anything from newspapers to cosmetics.
Until yesterday it was not uncommon to visit a market staffed exclusively by migrant workers from across the former Soviet Union. Now hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from countries such as Georgia, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan are looking for new jobs.
In Russia’s Far East such positions have typically been filled by Chinese migrant workers and many of them appear to have already returned home.
At Ussuriysk’s vast market near the Chinese border almost all the stalls were reported to be deserted.
“We had hoped good sense would prevail … This could disrupt the economy and bring many problems,” said Sergei Simakov, a district councillor from Ussuriysk.
Some commentators have raised fears that prices may rise as employers are forced to pay higher wages and wonder if ethnic Russians will be willing to take up jobs that entail working 12-hour days.
At Moscow’s famous Dorogomilovsky food market several stalls were denuded of their usually exotic mixture of fruit and vegetables from across the former Soviet Union. In their place hung signs that read: “Wanted: Salespeople. Must be Russian.”
Officials from the migration service raided a Moscow market in a sign that the Kremlin expects the new law to be scrupulously followed.
A spokesman for the Federal Migration Service said the raid proved that the new law was effective.
“Considering that this particular market has 1200 trading stalls and only four foreigners were detected you can conclude that in general the law is working.”
The Kremlin insists that there is nothing racist about the law that it says is intended to protect the rights of ethnic Russians who have complained of being squeezed out of the retail sector by migrant workers.
But human rights activists say nationalism is on the march ahead of crunch parliamentary elections in December and a presidential election next March and have accused the state of pandering to racists.
Allison Gill, head of the Moscow office of Human Rights Watch, said in the Soviet era Russia was famous for promoting “friendship between peoples”, hosting large numbers of students from the developing world.
“But now that slogan seems to have been turned on its head. It is now Russia for Russians.”

I Love it! The Russians are so fortunate. They actually DO have a government that is not out to eliminate their own native peoples!! This makes me ask questions:
How soon before any Western Government follows suit?
Were at in the West will this occur,Northern Italy?
And, is the U.S. too far gone- beyond hope, or will anything like this ever happen here?

Will Russians be willing to take up jobs that entail working 12-hour days.
Menial, routine, physical jobs become much more enjoyable when you are surrounded by fellow whites. There is a sense of community and of working toward a common purpose. The endless moan and groan of the minority wears you down like a chisel to the wheel. People have written that they would rather stay home than endure rude behavior in the retail sector. I feel like I am living in an occupied country.

Liberals and conservatives say there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate.”
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I am not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the on going program of genocide against my race, the white race, liberals and conservatives agree that I am a Nazi, racist and a bigot.
What they are is anti-white plain and simple and thank GOD Russia is seeing through this globalist agenda. Until the people of the western Nations wake up I fear nothing along these lines of what Russia has done will ever happen.

I certainly know first hand what he is talking about! This legal action will do VOLUMES to raise the spirits of whites there and to foster a real sense of community, a real zeal in their whiteness. All whites together that is positive synergy! It is even more effective in uniting whites into a sense of community than if it had always been this way because they had all known what the retail world is like interspersed with the ‘foreigners’and know what a drag it is! Nite and day differences!

Anytime 35 to 40 million illegals can waltz across your borders with a wink of the eye from your traitorous rulers in Washington you have been occupied.

The United States is beyond hope. The situation is irreversible. All our energy must be focused on saving Europe.

I do not think the USA is beyond hope for several reasons. The USa has a lot of very good farmland. This will be useful. The USa is geographically large. I’ve been to places like Gothenburg, NE; Norfolk, NE; Robinson, IL; etc. As US cities have withered under racial strain these small to mid sized communities have quietly become the industrial base of the nation, and these places tend to preserve more traditional values (you don’t need to lock your car). The afore mentioned towns have an ethanol plant, steel mill, and major oil refinery.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I see Europe in deep demographic trouble, and the USA having a glimmer of hope. The next twenty years will be interesting.
