Problem, unimagineable in Russia

Sorry for off-top, but I feel concerned about the problem and need somebody to explain legal context to me. And it's a link to a funny Russian community anyway: it can be helpful in understanding cultural context.

OK.

why so "unimaginable"? Almost everyone lives in flats, some has children who running across neighbour's head all through the day...

Except that noone here would call a police and rather simply ask noisy children's parents to "handle" their kins or... hit children's father's face next ;-)

You can't get a fine just for a noisy kid, and if you go complain to ЖЭК about toddlers, they'd just laugh at you.

And, buildings in Russia are concrete, at least not wooden like here, for the most part, so you don't hear every step of your neighbour.

I do control the kids when he asks me (i.e. turn on the TV or something like that), but I can't eliminate this problem for the whole day, at least not until I tie them up.
