    I don't have a proper job. Just loads of side hustles that add up to an income I can live off.

    Copywriting
    Editing and proofreading
    Translation
    Own a small English teaching business
    Business training
    Educational consultancy

    My current side hustle on the side of my other side hustles is restoring and trading Soviet chess sets.

    How do they differ to other/normal/non-Soviet chess sets?

    I've checked the law and although it's vaguely written (like most Russian laws) I'm pretty sure my chess sets don't count as antiques until they're 100 years old. Most of my stock dates from the late 1940's onwards, so I've got at least 25 years before I have to start worrying! Although when I was crossing the border the other week, I had quite a valuable set in my suitcase which could have been construed as culturally important by anyone who knew what it was. Luckily, I'm quite confident that the Russian customs goons are unable identify which chess sets were used in grandmaster tournaments in the 1960's!

    I'm guessing they have bigger fish to fry currently. Are they worth much outside of Russia though?
