    I believe that would be a clear violation of existing so-called free trade agreements. Russia (not to mention China) should be kicked out of the WTO.
    No, it is not. Look to EU: it taxes Apple and ay US company that sells inside EU: http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/vat-customs/cross-border/index_en.htm

    Isn't homosexuality still a crime there?
    Not since 1993. There is a general restriction on sexual propaganda (including homosxuality) among kids small than 18 years old. That's the only restriction. Isn't it the same in US?

    Russian bureaucrats gotta eat too.  And take their trips to the French Riviera, Monaco, etc.  BMWs don't come cheap either.   Apple could solve this with a few well placed gifts.
    They are not allowed to buy expensive cars anymore. Several people were fired recently due to violation of this restriction.
