word "limit" has a negative meaning resistant and often used as an ordinary expletive.It is synonymous with stupidity, limited interests and wanton aggression.At the same few people think that such a limit and where it came from in the Russian reality.That, at least, is interesting.

places of mass stay limitchikov Moscow often became centers of social tension and increased criminality.Winners limitchik Moscow residence permit, to put it mildly, did not like.The main motive of their aggression was a clear sense of social injustice.And the native Muscovites there is no need to explain what the limit.The negative attitude to it can not be changed even by the simple fact that a significant portion of today's Moscow is built-workers limitchik.But over the years, some of limitchikov yet received a residence permit in Moscow today prefer to call themselves "Muscovites in the first generation."Migrant workers
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the question of what is the limit became increasingly moving away into the sphere of history.At the beginning of the dashing of the nineties, at the height of the economic crisis, construction projects in Moscow was not so much, and accordingly, has fallen sharply need to newcomer labor.The era of limits in its classic sense is over.It is time guest workers - guest workers from the now independent countries that were formerly Soviet republics, mainly from Central Asia, as well as Ukraine and Moldova.
