"Russia is enough for a large market to want to come to it, but not large enough to not want to leave."

Every day it becomes known that this or that foreign company decided to leave the Russian market. Less often - that I decided to stay. At times, the story becomes detective - the company leaves, then it turns out that no, then - again, or not quite, but only puts work in Russia for a pause ... What does the decision of foreign companies have to leave? How serious is the costs for them and for investors? And what does this mean for Russian consumers?

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
