This pressure traditionally begins in the northern capital of the Russian Federation, Saint Petersburg. Thus, migrants in this city have been banned from working as couriers.The ban has already been signed by the governor of Saint Petersburg, Alexander Beglov. This ban applies to the following types of activities related to courier delivery: courier activities, activities involving the courier delivery of various types of transport, home food delivery activities and other courier activities.
