MOSCOW, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Russia's biggest food retailer Magnit said on Thursday its third-quarter retail sales grew 34.1 percent year-on-year in rouble terms.

Magnit said in a statement its sales totalled 193.4 billion roubles ($4.8 billion). In dollar terms, third-quarter revenue grew by over a fifth.
