A-Infos (en) Russia, Avtonom: Circus: "Trends of Order and Chaos", episode 150 - produced this week by the Antijob.net project . (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Despite the fact that the so-called "elections", which is essentially a 
circus in which officials and other bosses were again training  state 
employees, ended, echoes of this significant event were heard last week. 
---- I'll figure it out by IP and fire you! ---- ?At one of the events, 
the mayor of Nizhny Tagil, Vladislav Pinaev, like any government 
representative, could not restrain himself and spewed out a stream of 
enthusiastic nonsense mixed with threats, naturally bringing in the 
topic of elections.
First, Pinaev thanked the townspeople for the high turnout and admitted 
that in his dreams the turnout was more modest, and he didn't really 
believe that the townspeople could be dragged to the elections so 
easily: "I didn't believe until the last moment that we could do this. 
No one has ever done this before in their life. No one even dreamed of 
such a result. <...> I didn't even dream about him."

Then Pinaev moved on to the favorite topic of officials - "one boat" and 
threats. The mayor said that he would check municipal employees and 
public sector workers in Nizhny Tagil to identify those who did not 
participate in voting for the President of the Russian Federation. "Now 
we'll check everyone in a month to see if they were there or not. Let's 
do this: either we are on one team or we are all separately. Why are you 
sitting there, sitting out while everyone else is plowing?" - the mayor 
remarked self-critically.

Pinaev also added that a person receiving a salary from the state cannot 
ignore presidential elections, and those who did not vote have no place 
in the civil service, regardless of qualifications.

There is now a catastrophic shortage of personnel in the public sector, 
but Pinaev is confident that public sector employees are simply obliged 
to work for the idea and stand before the authorities in a knee-elbow 
position, without regard to the fact that, according to the current 
Constitution, participation in elections is a right, not an obligation 
for citizens of the Russian Federation (Article 32, paragraph 2). 
However, when the Constitution ceased to be worth anything, hired 
workers find more compelling words to demand from their bosses to vote.

Go to hell!
It turned out that employees of large Kremlin-controlled corporations 
react very aggressively to attempts to force them to participate in voting .

A political strategist who collaborates with the Kremlin and is familiar 
with the progress of corporate mobilization in oil companies told 
reporters that so far "the corporate campaign is going badly": "People 
don't want[to go vote]. Previously, the[corporate mobilization]scheme 
worked-many people held on to their positions and were afraid of losing 
them. Now workers understand: there is a shortage in the labor market, 
so no one will fire them for refusing to vote. A very common answer: "Go 
to hell!" I don't want to, so what will you do to me? Will you work 
instead of me?"

In our opinion, this is the most correct response not only to the demand 
to go vote, but in general to any unlawful behavior of the authorities. 
While there is no revolver, we must at least start with a kind word.

From oncologists to janitors
And, of course, when reading the news, the most unkind words arise.

?In February, a wild story began in Rostov-on-Don with the reduction and 
transfer of district oncologists to other places of work - according to 
the plan of the local administration, by April 1, there should be no 
such specialists left in clinics; cancer patients in the region will be 
served in one institution - the Zdorovye medical center " A big surprise 
awaits cancer patients here - preference is given to paying patients. 
They are registered out of turn, and free ones are accepted only 
according to quotas; now they have to waste a lot of time, first waiting 
for an appointment with a therapist so that he can issue a referral to 
the medical center, then waiting for an appointment with an oncologist, 
who can only see them in a few weeks or months.

The doctors themselves say that the reason for what is happening is an 
attempt to force people to more actively use paid services. This was 
discussed in the Rostov telegram channel "Tyutina".

Patients report that there are no places with oncologists in the united 
centers for the whole of April, and the next appointment with a general 
practitioner at the place of residence, who should issue referrals, is 
only for April 1. In addition, now oncologists in "Zdorovye" do not 
perform many tasks that were the responsibility of the district ones - 
for example, they do not issue sick leave, disability, and do not 
prescribe narcotic drugs (with a home visit).

But the destruction of local medical care does not end there. There are 
not enough oncologist positions in the medical center for all the 
doctors, so laid-off doctors are offered to move to non-medical 
positions - in a call center, as an administrator, or even as a cleaner. 
Doctors shared the corresponding document with a list of vacancies with 
the public.

Dunno on the ambulance
The authorities create a problem with one hand, and try to solve it with 
the other. But, as usual, they solve it to the best of their idiocy. Now 
they want to allow doctors without specialized specialization to work in 
ambulances.

The Ministry of Labor is developing a new professional standard for 
"emergency medical services doctor," Medvestnik reports (the draft order 
was published on the portal regulation.gov.ru ). The document is 
expected to come into force on September 1, 2024.

The main reason for this is the shortage of personnel. The acute 
shortage and constant outflow of emergency doctors is mentioned in the 
explanatory note to the draft order. To be clarified: the number of 
employees in emergency medical doctor positions fell from 13,978 (2014) 
to 9,634 (2022).

To reduce the shortage of personnel, it is proposed to attract 
specialists who have completed training in the programs "general 
medicine" and "pediatrics" to work in the ambulance without undergoing 
residency training in the specialty "emergency medicine" or without 
undergoing professional retraining.

The document also clarifies that, in accordance with the order of the 
Ministry of Health dated 05/02/2023 No. 206n, to fill the position of 
"mobile emergency medical team doctor", the specified specialty obtained 
after September 1, 2023 is sufficient. Thus, it is only necessary to 
regulate issues related to the admission of doctors without specialized 
specialization to work in ambulances.

Earlier, Medvestnik reported that the number of specialists with higher 
medical education in the ambulance service continues to decline. 
According to Rosstat, in 2022, only 10.6% of those working at stations 
and in emergency departments were doctors. Another 56.1% of employees 
were nursing staff. In 2020, the share of doctors was 11.4%. The data on 
nursing staff has not changed.

Now the authorities are doing everything to avoid raising doctors' 
salaries - for example, they are trying to fill the personnel gap in the 
healthcare system with students and residents. Last December, the 
government extended permission to work on ambulances for students in 
medical universities until January 2025. As the Ministry of Health 
reported, in a number of regions such health workers made up a 
"significant part" of the service staff.

Obscene cacti
As you know, the most unnecessary people we have are doctors and 
teachers. And they still like to torment teachers for the most idiotic 
reasons. Either they have  photos in swimsuits on VKontakte, or they 
allow themselves  to kiss and hug their loved ones in these photos. But 
these are still flowers, but cacti. And the cacti are just ahead.

A teacher, associate professor of the Department of Mechanical 
Engineering Technologies of Volgograd State Technical University, 
candidate of technical sciences Alexei Zhdanov, got into a big scandal 
when he showed his colleagues his cactus (in the literal sense of the 
word). Alexey was forced to resign.

The story happened on March 9th. Wanting to add something new to the 
chat of colleagues congratulating each other with tons of tulips, Alexey 
posted a photo of his collection of cacti that had begun to bloom, and a 
photo of the unusual fluffy cactus Espostoa lanata. The man has been 
interested in growing cacti for 15 years; at home he has a shelf with an 
impressive greenhouse of plants of various shapes.

After Alexey shared a photo of cacti with his colleagues, amazing things 
began to happen to him. First, the teacher was excluded from all chats 
without explanation. A few days later, according to the man, the head of 
the department called him and invited him to talk. It turned out that 
colleagues considered the shapes of some cacti obscene and suggestive of 
some naughty thoughts. They complained to Alexey that he posted 
"indecent things" in the chat, showed a "provocative cactus" and in 
general "such" methods of communication in the chat are unacceptable. In 
a word, Alexei's cacti extremely outraged and offended the deep feelings 
of morality and morality of his colleagues.

Alexey refused to come to the conversation, and then he was asked to 
write a statement of his own free will. One can easily understand 
Alexey, who agreed and quit, not wanting to work in a team of people who 
could be provoked into something obscene by an ordinary cactus.

Alexey recorded a video in which he showed his collection of cacti and 
demonstrated the most "provocative" of them. The discouraged and 
indignant teacher spoke in detail about the situation and asked to 
spread the news about his dismissal from the Volgograd College of 
Management and New Technologies.

"They asked me to write a letter of resignation of my own free will. 
Like, I post indecent things in the department chat. The team was 
insulted," says Alexey. - "Maybe the shape of the bottles should also be 
banned? A flower is not always a tulip. It turns out that I'm hinting at 
something... By the way, there are already not enough teachers at the 
college. Eternal vacancies in programming and computer science."

The college where the teacher worked was unable to formulate its 
position regarding the cactus scandal and did not provide any comments. 
But, as  they wrote to us  on the former Twitter, now the social network 
X, now in this college the name of Zhdanov cannot be mentioned, and some 
are even threatened with expulsion for this.

This is what eternal youth is like...
