Shots are fired almost every night on the Nemunas River, creating a natural frontier separating the European Union from Russia. It is the front line of Lithuania’s fight to stem a multi-million-dollar trade in cigarettes smuggled in from the western Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Armed with helicopters, automatic weapons and night-vision scopes, Lithuanian border guards try to find an invisible army of smugglers who use high speed boats to push their wares across. Counterfeit cigarettes are typically floated by swimmers wearing black diving suits and dragging caravans of waterproof crates. Their accomplices are waiting on the opposite banks with trucks to take the load to secret warehouses in small villages. From there, they are distributed nationwide.

Border guards have detained dozens of smugglers who are willing to risk their lives. To the Lithuanian and Russian gangs, it’s worth the risk because huge money is at stake. Lithuania loses millions of euros every year because according to the survey every third smoked cigarette came into the country illegally.

The smugglers are wily and work hand-in-glove to avoid capture. Border guards cannot build a wall in the middle of the river but with more time, technology and money they can seize more contraband.

 

 

Ex. 10 Render the newspaper article.

U.S. Hit by Russian Pirate Sales


Sales of pirated films, software and books in Russia cost U.S. copyright holders billions of dollars. Only China surpassed Russia in piracy.

Increasing the penalty for counterfeiters and using special labels to make pirated merchandise easier to recognize are among the suggestions put forward by the lawmakers.

Deputy Prosecutor General called for a crackdown on manufacturers and retailers of counterfeit merchandise, as on those who provide floor spaces, equipment or other support for pirates.

Unauthorized copies of the latest Hollywood hits as well as pirated business software are easy to find throughout the country and it results in the large losses for copyright holders.

Counterfeit goods account for 35 to 90 percent of turnover in certain market segments, but the most troubling are food and medicine.
