iTunes will be available for Russians

Recently, Apple has been significantly expanding its presence in Russia: Apple Rus registration, in the future, the opening of its own Apple Store stores in Russia, and now access to iTunes. 

According to Vedomosti, Apple’s iTunes store will be available in Russia at the end of this or early 2013. When exactly depends on the success of Apple’s negotiations with record companies and rights holders. According to unofficial data, Apple is already negotiating with an online store Muz.ru . 

Presumably, the price of the track in iTunes will be lower than the American one: 11-20 rubles, not $ 0.99 (here, however, much will depend on the artist). 

According to the head of the Yandex.Music service, Konstantin Vorontsov, access to iTunes will contribute to the development of the legal music market in Russia.
