Russia to allow limited Internet sales of alcohol
Russia is planning to relax its stringent controls on the sale of alcohol over the Internet, though some restrictions will remain in effect. The ban on selling alcohol online was first introduced in 2007, in part to curb rampant alcohol abuse in the country but also in a bid to clamp down on widespread sales of harmful counterfeit and bootleg products. The year before the ban was introduced, it was estimated by the country’s interior ministry that counterfeit alcohol was killing 42,000 Russians a year.
