The head of the largest chain of bookstores in Russia announced the destruction of books banned by the authorities worth 100 million rubles The largest chain of bookstores in Russia, Kara-Gorod - Bookbud, removed from sale and destroyed books worth 100 million rubles. Due to their non-compliance with new laws, said the head of the company, Alexander Brychkin. "We can't throw these books away. It's toxic waste. Accordingly, they must be evacuated, and this is also at our expense," Barchkin said in an interview with RBC. According to him, the process of recycling the books involves destruction using an industrial shredder with a camera. The head of the network also noted that books are unexpectedly withdrawn from sale - after an inspection that reveals LGBT propaganda at work. "This test always arises suddenly. She is not condemned in any way prescribed by law. And at the very moment when this examination arises, we begin to give an account. We don't even have a chance to meet the requirements of the law," explained Barichkin. He called to change the inspection procedure: to announce its beginning, and also to introduce a certification procedure for experts. More details.
