"Over the years of#nbsp;working in#nbsp;security sphere, I#nbsp;realized how ridiculous is#nbsp;the concept that "a man is#nbsp;stronger than a#nbsp;womanʺ. We#nbsp;can go#nbsp;into a#nbsp;burning hut and stop a#nbsp;galloping horse, as#nbsp;a#nbsp;classical Russian poet said. In#nbsp;my#nbsp;experience, a#nbsp;woman is#nbsp;more attentive to#nbsp;the guarded object and does not react on#nbsp;provocations. Of#nbsp;course, everyone’s get emotional sometimes, but here we#nbsp;listen to#nbsp;our intuition smartly," says Tatiana Varguzina, an#nbsp;security inspector at#nbsp;the brewery in#nbsp;Samara.
"By the way, I#nbsp;am#nbsp;on duty alone at#nbsp;my#nbsp;checkpoint, while men at#nbsp;the same checkpoints work in#nbsp;pairs. Although our workload is#nbsp;almost the same, it#nbsp;happens that more vehicles pass by#nbsp;my#nbsp;checkpoint during the shift. But I#nbsp;do#nbsp;everything by#nbsp;myself, while in#nbsp;other places two men do#nbsp;the same work," she says.
"My relatives worked in#nbsp;law enforcement agencies. I#nbsp;spent 10 years working in#nbsp;transportation and undermined my#nbsp;health there. We#nbsp;often got very cold in#nbsp;inspection service, and as#nbsp;public transport conductors, we#nbsp;constantly breathed exhaust fumes. In#nbsp;the end I#nbsp;quit, I#nbsp;had to#nbsp;look for something new. After all those hard conditions, working in#nbsp;security turned out to#nbsp;be a#nbsp;paradise," recalls Liya. In#nbsp;June, she will have been in#nbsp;her position for 14 years.
"The main thing is#nbsp;to#nbsp;observe without giving the appearance of#nbsp;doing#nbsp;so. Talk and watch how the potential offender reacts. They sometimes give themselves away: they get nervous or#nbsp;think they’ll never be#nbsp;figured out. At#nbsp;this point it#nbsp;is#nbsp;important to#nbsp;catch them red-handed," says Galina Slugina, security inspector at#nbsp;the Marketplace warehouse.
"It also happens that drivers try to#nbsp;bring in#nbsp;unauthorized persons (for example, children). After all, we#nbsp;have a#nbsp;brewery company, there is#nbsp;a#nbsp;lot of#nbsp;alcoholic products, and the law strictly prohibits children to#nbsp;be#nbsp;on the territory. And some truck drivers take their whole families with them, and then try to#nbsp;drag them through all the facilities."
"A woman often has to#nbsp;be#nbsp;tough in#nbsp;her job, and can’t hold back at#nbsp;the end of#nbsp;the day. All her accumulated irritation spills out onto her colleagues. One woman does not listen to#nbsp;the other, and the atmosphere immediately turns into an#nbsp;argy-bargy. It’s easier to#nbsp;find common ground with men because they are more willing to#nbsp;make concessions or#nbsp;just agree to#nbsp;stop the conflict," she says.
