Kara-Gorod" spent about one hundred million rubles to remove "forbidden" books from sale. Alexander Brychkin, head of the "Kara-Gorod - Bookbud" book chain, spoke about this in an interview with RBC. "We can't throw these books away. It's toxic waste. Accordingly, they must be removed, and this is also at our expense," he said, adding that dumping means destruction using an industrial shredder on camera. Brichkin also called for changing the book examination procedure for "LGBT propaganda". According to him, now the examination of books that are already in operation "always arises suddenly": "It is not discussed in any way established by law. And at the very moment when that exam comes up, we begin to be held accountable. We don't even have a chance to meet the requirements of the law." Earlier, a protocol was drawn up in "Kara-Gorod" for participation in the work of an "undesirable" organization. The connection to which organization the companies are accused of is unknown.
