In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin transferred the assets of other large foreign retailers continuing to work in Russia—Metro Cash & Carry, Auchan and Leman PRO (Leroy Merlin)—to temporary management by Russian legal entities, according to Meduza. Meduza also reported that temporary management was introduced in Nestle Russia. [ 3 ]

Por qué importa
The visit puts attention on Schröder’s role at Globus, a foreign-owned retail chain that has continued operating in Russia, according to Meduza.
