Artem Sokolov, formerly President of the Association of Internet Trading Companies (AKIT) statedIllegal alcoholic beverage sales in the Russian Federation will increase by 60% in 2023, reaching 80 billion rubles.
According to NIFI estimates of the Ministry of Finance, the Russian budget will lose 253 billion rubles due to illegal alcohol trade. Sokolov added that there is a revenue deficit for 2023-2027.
