    Russians Cut Back on Clothing and Footwear Purchases

    In Russia, purchases of clothing and footwear have decreased by 10% in January-May 2026 compared to the same period last year, with some segments seeing a 15% drop. This is due to the desire to save money because of the rise in prices. The negative trend is worsening, with a further 4% decrease in purchases in the second quarter. Despite the decrease in quantity, the market is still growing in money terms due to price increases. Consumers are switching to lower price segments, waiting for discounts, and buying from second-hand stores or abroad.

    Russia Proposes Mandatory Phone Number Binding for Foreign Websites

    The Ministry of Digital Development in Russia has proposed new measures to combat fraud, known as 'Anti-fraud 3.0'. One of the key provisions is that foreign websites and apps operating in Russia must authenticate users within the country using only a phone number. This requirement would apply to websites freely operating in Russia and users located within the country. Additionally, foreign websites would need to store registration, authentication, and account deletion data for three years and provide it to law enforcement upon request. Experts note that these requirements may pose challenges for foreign platforms and international companies.
