Moscow Bans 'Slavs Only' Job Ads: A Legal Tightrope Walk

Moscow courts have banned job postings that specify a preference for Slavic applicants, following requests from prosecutors. This ruling, based on legal interpretations of anti-discrimination laws, has sparked debate about its effectiveness and implications for employers and job seekers. One blogger, commenting on the situation, noted, "They're not going to stop hiring based on ethnicity; they'll just find new ways to express their preferences." The ban highlights the ongoing challenge of addressing discrimination in the workplace and the complexities of enforcing anti-discrimination laws.
