There is not a single reason for minor to move from rural area or provincial town to Moscow; however such a move is quite common in Central Russia at the age of 17-19, when someone finishes the high school.

It is a complete nonsense.
Large retail stores are employing 18 to 25-30 years old women, rarely men as their shop assistants; and smaller retail stores do not have shop assistants at all.
I don't quite understand what they mean by "sell goods on the street", but if it is about street stands - again, usually the "salespersons" are 40 to 60 years old.
What about washing cars - come on, Russia is not a New York
Although i'm ordering something with delivery quite often, there was not a single case of delivery made by someone younger than 25-30.
Some homeless people are collecting trash; these are usually 50 or more years old.
There are some begging gypsies' children, but not of that scale (and i believe there are gypsies in every other country).
The whole page seems like some fairy tales about Russia for "first-world countries". I wonder why didn't they said that little boys are playing balalaika while being raped by a polar bear for a samovar of vodka
Half of the claims about prostitution are likely about adult prostitution; and another half seems to be just a nonsense.
I was trying to say that the store, as a privately-held company, may do their own business decisions. Amazon is not government or the school council. Consider you've opened your little book store, where you're selling only your most beloved books, and then, by mistake, a pedobook will appear in a pile of your beloved book, and some people will blame you for throwing it out.
