Apple launches online store in Russia, avoids Yakov Smirnoff gags
It was last summer when we first heard the rumblings that Apple was preparing to launch a retail presence in Russia, and a year later, it's arrived. The company has opened a localized version of its online store, letting locals snap up the fruity devices without resorting to a middle man. There's no word on if this'll be followed up with a retail presence, but we imagine Apple will have to amend its T-Shirt-based retail uniform for those unyielding Siberian winters.
