Employees of the "Purple Legion" were sent on vacation at their own expense → In Moscow, a store of musical carriers and equipment "Purple Legion" closed. This was announced by Slon by the director of the Internet department of the Purple Legion, which introduced himself to Danila. According to him, employees hope that closing is a temporary measure, but at the moment nothing is known about the prospects of the trading floor. The online store at Plegion.ru continues to work. Slon confirmed the information about the unexpected closure of the Purple Legion Legion by the former Director of PL on marketing Alexander Loevsky with reference to employees who worked in the store until the last moment. According to Loevsky, to the closure of some employees of the PL, who at that moment at work, was announced on Friday in the evening, on July 4. Moreover, according to the sources of Loevsky, earlier on the same day, one of the suppliers brought a party of goods to the store, which was accepted without any reservations. Loevsky suggested that there could be several reasons for the rapid closure of the “purple legion”, but called an extremely unlikely version of a significant debt to customs for the set parties of vinyl grampes. This version was announced earlier than Lenta.ru. Loevsky also said that, contrary to the prevailing opinion about the fall in sales of physical carriers, in 2013, the sales of compact disks and vinyl records from meaggers (for example, UNIVERSAL) increased by 10% and 50%, respectively, while the emphasis was shifted to limited and collection publications. “Back in 2011, I offered PL to switch to specifications, but they refused,” Loevsky said. He explained that the owner of the Purple Legion, Nikolai Schell, who lives mainly in the USA, does not understand the situation in the Russian audio carriers market, which caused extremely ineffective managerial decisions in recent years. According to Loevsky, the owners of the Purple Legion were not ready for modern realities and reform of the trade policy.“Honestly, it seems to me that the Schell is simply finally ********* [Slon- Slon ],” Loevsky said.The Purple Legion was one of the oldest Russian stores that traded legal audio and video products, as well as the technique of Hi-Fi and Hi-End classes. The first store opened in 1993 on the Cosmodamian embankment in Moscow. Due to the economic crisis in the late 2000s, the Purple Legion network was forced to gradually turn all outsays except the store on Novokuznetskaya Street. In the spring of 2014, the store moved to a smaller room in the neighborhood in Klimentsky Lane.
