Adidas continues to align its marketing strategy with the Soviet legacy of persecution and totalitarianism, profiting from the sale of USSR-branded products.
\nSince the company refuses to recall its \u2018USSR\u2019 product line and publicly apologize for launching it in the first place, UCMC publishes its eighteenth protest visual.<\/p>\n

Vinnytsia massacre was a mass execution of between 9,000 and 11,000 people in the Ukrainian town of Vinnytsia by the Soviet secret police NKVD during the Great Purge or Yezhovshchina in 1937\u20131938.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is just one example of what the USSR really was. Throughout 70 years of Soviet rule, the populations of Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Georgians, Armenians, Moldovans, Kazakhs, and many other ethnicities were decimated, displaced, killed by artificial famine, tortured, persecuted, their lives, cultures, and livelihoods destroyed.
\nBy using Soviet symbols for profit, Adidas is openly supporting the modern-day Russian state and its nostalgia for the USSR, a reckless obsession which led to the illegal annexation of Crimea and occupation of eastern Ukraine beginning in 2014. Since then, over 10,000 people were killed and over 1,7 mln people internally displaced as a result of Russia\u2019s attempt to resurrect the USSR.
\nWe demand that the company recalls these products immediately from its online\/offline stores and distribution centers and issues an unequivocal apology to all those affected by this morally reprehensible sales tactic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
