Current Russia is facing countless sanctions and Western brands have abandoned it in protest against the country's invasion of Ukraine. Russian residents won't buy new Samsungs or new iPhones, but that shouldn't bother them, because the federation has announced that it doesn't need Western technology. The situation is, of course, different and appropriately daunting for the average Russian citizen.
So the big brands left the Russian market, and those that didn't were banned by Russia. But now he realizes the seriousness of the situation and therefore steps aside. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin so he said, that the country will allow retailers to import goods without the trademark holder's permission. It is therefore a gray import of goods of brands that have left the Russian market. It includes not only Apple with its iPhones, but also Samsung with its phones and tablets Galaxy as well as electronics of other types and brands, typically computers, game consoles, etc.

It will be a point of view.
Can someone explain to me why the "west" is taking revenge on ordinary people for the perverted actions of the greedy oligarchs? This whole war will be won by the oligarchs on both sides, and in the end the taxpayers will pay - those who will be lucky in taxes and those who will not be lucky in bare life.
Unfortunately, we don't really have an explanation for that.
