Meh, it's really not that common like the internet would like you to believe.
When I was in Russia I went to several CD stores. Both sketchy stores and "official" ones like HMV in the UK is/was. They really mostly sell original stuff. Even the stores selling bootlegs don't really sell knock-offs. Those who still buy CD's over there don't care for unofficial stuff, a second hand CD costs about half of what a new one costs in Europe so if you're buying a second hand CD there you want it to be an official one.
