The Internet is, but watch nothing: in the Russian Federation selling DVD- and Blu-Ray disks has grown 2 times

Russian stores assure that sales are facilitated by "slow Internet", not US sanctions against Russia. The Russians began to actively buy entertainment content recorded on such carriers as DVDs and Blu-Ray. About it reports media RBC. ru. The publication interviewed several large retailers who sell electronics as to which devices and media are most often bought by consumers. DVD and blu-ray disks, as well as players capable of playing content recorded on them, have great demand.

This information was reported by M. Vedo-Aldorado and Ozon. The media reported that the sale of these goods has increased more than 2 times compared to 2021. In the second quarter of this year, sales jumped three times. Ozon says that in 6 months (from March to September), DVD with film was 16% more, and DVD with musical content was 51% more. DVD players were purchased 40% more. The store also noted that DVDs are more popular than Blu-ray.

Another retailer, Vido-Aldorado, said that the disks became a running product because of the departure of strings services such as Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. In addition, US film companies have recalled licenses from Russian online cinema, and now the latter have no right to demonstrate foreign production products.

And Ozon says that the sale of disks has stimulated not only the lack of foreign entertainment content, but also the fact that disks make it possible to watch movies and cartoons, regardless of Tgo, whether the Internet is working well or bad. But in fact, the whole thing is in US sanctions against Russia that restrict Russian companies to US technologies and products (as well as European ones, because the EU also supports the US initiative).
