While primarily a computer wholesaler, Griffin Technology operates more like a general retailer on Ozon, selling everything from electronics to toys and cosmetics, according to customs data provided by Import Genius.Griffin Technology last year received at least 12 shipments of Lego products from a Hong Kong-registered company, Union Computer Supplies Limited.

Griffin Technology could not be reached for comment. Union Computer Supplies Limited did not respond to a request for comment.While less prominent in customs records, firms incorporated in the European Union, which imposed some of the toughest sanctions on Russia, are also among the suppliers of goods.One of the biggest suppliers of Lego, which is readily sold on Russian online markets such as Ozon despite officially leaving the country, is a company registered in Poland, Bilax.

When approached by an Al Jazeera journalist posing as a customer, a company representative said his main business was to transfer goods from Western Europe to Eastern Europe and Central Asia.“We have continuous relationships with our clients in Russia and we are on the side of business in this conflict,” he said.

He connected Al Jazeera to a company based in Russia, Kids’ Times, where a sales manager claimed to have access to almost any item of Lego “through their partners based in Europe”.

In a statement to Al Jazeera, Bilax said that the company “has never traded Lego” and provides only logistical services for third parties., mostly Syrians fleeing civil war, sought asylum, Pau Aleikum Garcia was in Athens, helping those arriving in the Greek capital after a perilous sea journey.

The then 25-year-old Spanish volunteer arranged housing for refugees in abandoned facilities like schools and libraries, and set up community kitchens, language classes and art activities.“It was kind of a massive cascade of people,” Garcia recalls.

“My own memory of that time is oddly patchy,” he admits. Though there was one encounter that stood out.In one of those schools in Athens’ Exarcheia neighbourhood, where refugees painted the external wall to illustrate their memories of their journeys, Garcia met a Syrian woman in her late 70s.
