Ministry of Industry and Trade: retail chains need to return newspapers and magazines to retail stores. Chairman of the Presidium of the Association of Retail Trade Companies Igor Karavaev noted that leading Russian retail chains are ready to discuss the issue of expanding the range of printed press in stores.

“All work on the sale of printed products is systematically organized, so all excuses from trade representatives that printed products should not be in retail chains is inappropriate,” said Viktor Evtukhov.
