Kara-Gorod spent about 100 million rubles on raids of banned books in Russia. This was stated by the head of the network Alexander Brychkin. According to him, the network cannot "throw these books in the trash" as they are "toxic waste". As a result, they have to be disqualified using Grotel - with a mandatory firing of the entire process. According to Alexander Brychkin, books taken from the shelves of bookstores can be for sale for a long time, and at the time of their release comply with Russian legislation, and then at some point there is an inspection.
