Have been to like 10 of those hardware stores in and around russian market, no one has it or even knows what it is.
Anyone know where I can find some in PP?

I have no definitive answer; however many years ago working oin a piece of nav equip. I was able to use a baby ear wash bulb.
It sucks if compressed then rapidly released or blows if squeezed harshly. It's what I had. It wasn't perfect but worked.

Thanks Chkwoot, will check it out.

Luigi, I tried that tool, unfortunately, it is useless when I need to really clean up an area of solder. Thanks anyway.
