The hard sign is always disjunctive as well as the soft sign before a vowel. съесть
sjesʲtʲ, сесть - sʲesʲtʲ, объяснить - ɐbji'sʲnʲitʲ.

According to IPA (if that matters), the [ʂ] and [ɕ] match Mandarin pinyin sh and x, and that's strikingly similar to what I've perceived - and for me, that's about the best explanation so far. |

That explains a whole lot, Mark, hahaha...I saw that difference today in my Swedish
lesson when I was pronouncing "känns" with a ch instead of a sh. My teacher is Russian so
she told me to use that latter Swedish letter :)

I think variants of Norwegian have those two sounds. The not-platalized version written rs, and the palatalized one as sj/sk/skj.
The rs belongs to the retroflex series of consonants, where you also find rn, rl, rt and rd.
For example in my own speach there is a definite difference between the rs in arsen (the name of an elment) and the sj in sjel (soul).
But it is difficult to find minimal pairs.

So щ is the equivalent of English sh? That is a relevation.

Not really, but "close enough":
English sh - [ʃ]
Mandarin x/Russian щ - [ɕ]
