- The Russian government wants to tighten its control over the beer market and introduce new licensing rules, the daily says. Experts believe this could lead to a decrease in the number of craft breweries and allow large breweries to grab an additional 12-15 percent of the market.
- A new expert report suggests that Russia should not support far-right political parties and movements in Europe because doing so causes real damage to Russia's image, the daily says. The report also warns that Russian support for such parties risks destabilising inter-ethnic relations inside Russia itself by encouraging domestic far-right elements.
