Culture: Russian Laryoks
Small "laryoks", convenient street kiosks selling everything from stationary to beer, may soon disappear from Moscow streets. Mayor Yuri Luzkov wants to get rid of all of them and create a new "consumer market system", Interfax reported. Luzhkov cited tax evasion and unsafe products as two prime reasons for shutting down the merchants. Earlier this year, Luzhkov removed all barges and floating real estate from the Moscow river.
Hey, maybe the guy is trying to clean up the city? Hard to tell from an article like this but in America, we file for a "temporary vendor's permit" and are free to sell as we wish. It is all part of the belief in the entreprenurial way of life.
