In Yekaterinburg, employees of "Rospechat" risk losing their jobs due to the demolition of kiosks.

      In Yekaterinburg, employees of the Rospechat kiosks are worried that they will be left without work when the booths are finally removed from the streets. Management has not offered any alternative employment.

      — "I'm already retired; where am I supposed to go? I still need to work, I have a loan. We weren't offered a new place to work. We found out online that deliveries will go to all kiosks until September 20, and then that's it," the woman told Ura.Ru.

      According to the employee, during the demolition of one of the kiosks in the city center she was almost taken away along with the kiosk.

      Recall that the mass demolition of Rospechat kiosks began in Yekaterinburg in July 2025. By September all of the chain's retail outlets will be gone from Yekaterinburg's streets.

      Earlier, a Rospechat representative said that the closure of kiosks selling newspapers and magazines in Yekaterinburg could turn into the closure of the press distribution network across the entire Sverdlovsk region. It was also reported that the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade had been asked to keep Rospechat's kiosks in the city.

      Later, Sverdlovsk residents were told where they can now buy newspapers and magazines after the demolition of the Rospechat kiosks.
