It's only been 28 since the end of communism in Russia. But even worth Japan and Russia being adjacent countries, it feels very far away for most Japanese.

Typical.... Russian Postal Authorities totally screwing the average Russian and an obscure Japanese "Trading House" benefiting too. Sure would be nice if people and companies in Russia could import directly. No one makes money in Russia without someone's permission and that person getting a piece of the pie too.

I wonder if Muneo "House" Suzuki has a finger in this pie.

That's pretty much the story here in JP, too. Perhaps, not to the same extent. But there are definitely a multiverse of measures in place to protect Japan Inc. and their partners.

Love to see cheap Russian vodka in my local post office.
