Some establishments focused mainly on Western Europe are also capturing the Russian market. They translate their websites into Russian, offer convenient payment methods, add the Russian ruble currency to play for money. However, they do not create mirrors that would provide access in the event of blocking by the ILV. And this is their main disadvantage.
