Well-known brands can return to Russia through friendly countries. This was stated by the director of the Institute of Recent States Alexei Martynov.

The expert noted that well-known brands will find a way to return to Russia through friendly countries, perhaps with other names.

According to Martynov, the return of brands is due to the fact that they all operate according to the laws of capitalism, and not according to the laws of „ideology” and political principles.

„Well, this is how capitalism works. No matter how much someone would like to load it with some such ideologemes, some such political meaning, some principles – such, you know, „Here, I don’t like something, and I don’t I will earn money to harm Putin,” the expert concluded.
