" As a lawyer And As a consumer I am fundamentally against it, " he said, ITAR-TASS, explained that the idea of nationalization Soviet brands contrary, the 1st of all, the interests of clients." The adoption of this bill will mean that absolutely any Company will be able to apply the most known names such As " the Bear is in the North part ", vodka " Stolichnaya ", " Vologda butter " And So on, So we can substitute clients because no one can guarantee a normal quality ", - said the Head of the Department.
