MOSCOW (CNN/RTTV) - Chocolate bars, drinks, chips and red caviar. That's what you can buy in vending machines in Moscow.

The country's traditional delight - red caviar, which accompanies many Russian national dishes - is selling through vending machines in large office centers.

"Many producers and suppliers just cannot make it through. Basically the retailers hold the market, and the bigger or, lets say, the older suppliers have better connections. Many are just squeezed back. So I think it's not from good life, it's a necessity trying to make the branding in the market," said Tigran Hovhannisyan, Senior Analyst at Uralsib, a financial corporation.

For just 450 roubles or $15 you can grab a can of red caviar on the way from work.
