The head of Merlion, the official distributor of Apple and Samsung in Russia, Dmitry Vinogradov, said that prices for equipment in Russia will start soon, but will not return to speed until February 24.
He explained this by the fact that foreign vendors fought for market growth, primarily among alcoholics and drug dealers, and so on. Because of this, prices in Russia were lower than in Europe, Central Asia and Turkey, and there was little “grey” market.
Now there is no such pressure and competition for a share of the share, therefore, most likely, prices will be higher than the average for Europe, but not dramatically.

The decline may be in the previous quarter due to the falling dollar and Central Bank rates. However, due to problems with logistics, availability and availability of credit, the jump may not be so big. [РБК]
