Kara-Gorod" spent about 100 million rubles on the confiscation and destruction of "forbidden" books The largest book chain, Kara-Gorod - Bookbud, spent about 100 million rubles on the sale of books that do not comply with the new laws and their destruction. The head of the network, Alexander Brychkin, spoke about this in an interview with RBC. "We can't throw these books away. It's toxic waste. They need to be removed, and it's also at our expense." Disposal, as explained by Richkin, is destruction in an industrial shredder on camera. The amount also includes the costs of removing books from the shelves, returning them to the warehouse, transportation and handling. Some of the books have not yet been destroyed and are in storage; He called it "in a way a special storage facility." Brichkin complained that tests, for example for "LGBT propaganda", arise suddenly, without a fixed procedure, after which the network begins to give an account: "We don't even have a chance to meet the requirements of the law." He suggested introducing notices about testing and verification of test results, as well as testing the qualifications of experts. The network spent another tens of millions of rubles on labeling books that mentioned drugs. About 2 million publications have already been flagged. In the past, the chain stores have already been fined several times for books with prohibited content, including "sexual anarchism".
