Quite seriously, Mikola! I do find it interesting that an official Russian TV programme is trying to do away with old Soviet structures and nasty bastards in the newer structures, even if only concerning parking rights in the city, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm getting bored with the details, and with having to look at the little clips where some people extremely quickly mumble something in some unpredictable variety of Russian.
If this is going to continue, could you please find your own forum or an appropriate forum within ProZ to go on?
As a translator trying to cover quite a few fields, I do rely on colleagues, but you've been posting every little bit about that programme that's bothered you in any way for months!

to run an illegal parking lot

"Are you running an illegal parking lot?"

I realize it's more like an area along a street, than a "lot" proper, but in the context of this video it should be OK to stretch the term.

Thanks, Eric.
agree beermatt : oy, Mikola, you've got a serious and constant demand on street awareness, but this one seems to be most appropriate among the suggestions. I.e. Are you running an illegal parking lot? Mikola, why not have your own web site for this?

Do you organize an illegal parking?

Примерно так. Я видел у Вас вариант с unauthorized. Но мне больше как-то тут illegal нравится.

neutral Eric Spreat : Артикль не уместен

neutral Rachel Douglas : "Illegal parking" would denote the activity of parking one's vehicle in an illegal space or lot. It cannot be used to denote the space or lot itself. And "a parking," with the article, is not English.
