Nostalgia for the empire? Lithuanian Foreign Ministry surprised Soviet symbolism on Adidas products

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius expressed bewilderment about the fact that the German concern Adidas is selling women's T-shirts with the inscription USSR (USSR), reports RIA News.

The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, in its Twitter account, provided a link to the Adidas official website, where a red women's t-shirt with the USSR inscription and the emblem of the Soviet Union is presented for sale.

There are still those who are sick of "nostalgia for the empire," but somehow it is unexpected that among them is the well-known concern @adidas,

wrote the minister.

Adidas AG, founded in 1924 by Adolf Dassler. Currently, it is one of the world leaders in the production of sports shoes, clothing and equipment.

Recall that in 2008, Lithuania adopted a law prohibiting the use, display and distribution of Soviet and Nazi symbols in crowded places. Her demonstration is allowed only in museums. Symbols can also be used "for scientific, artistic and educational purposes, and in antiques trade."

Failure to comply with the law entails administrative liability in the form of a fine from 144 to 289 euros.

Someone has a memory, someone has a phobia. How powerful the Soviet Union was if they were still afraid of the dead lion that left us 27 years ago!

[Shurik70]

Those who buy this symbolism are either proud of their Soviet past, or consider it better than capitalism, or simply shock others.
As for Adidas, nostalgia has nothing to do with it. There is a demand - there is a supply. This is just a business.

No, until now the world has gone crazy according to Lithuanian symbols and did not suspect the existence of the USSR, and they were surprised ... :) If it goes on like this, then not only their neighbors will know about Lithuania, but someone else: )))

The USSR was the most powerful state in the world. Mediocre rule in times of stagnation, a departure from the line of development that Great Stalin outlined, starting with Khrushchev, led to collapse. Tagged Judas surrendered the USSR to enemies, and the drunkard finished off. Bismarck about Russia:
"The Russians cannot be defeated, we have seen this for hundreds of years. But the Russians can be instilled with false values ​​and then they will defeat themselves."

[Proxima]

Quote: Lavrenty Pavlovich

Bismarck about Russia:
"The Russians cannot be defeated, we have seen this for hundreds of years. But the Russians can be instilled with false values ​​and then they will defeat themselves."

I believe in another prediction of this political prophet:
“Even the most successful outcome of the war will never lead to the collapse of Russia, which is supported by millions of Russian believers of the Greek faith. (meaning - Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc.) These latter, even if they are disconnected as a result of international treaties, will just as quickly reconnect with each other as separated droplets of mercury find their way to each other. "
Someday it will happen!

[Proxima]

No less interesting are other statements by Bismarck about Russia.
• Preventive war against Russia - suicide due to fear of death.

• Russia is dangerous by the meagerness of its needs.

• Even the most favorable outcome of the war will never lead to the disintegration of the main power of Russia, which is based on millions of Russians.

• Do not hope that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on the Jesuit agreements that you have signed, supposedly justifying you. They are not worth the paper on which they are written. therefore with Russians it’s worth playing fair or not playing at all.

• He, as always, with a diva smile on his lips and with an ice compress on his heart (about Chancellor of the Russian Empire Gorchakov).

• Never fight with Russians. They will respond to each of your military tricks with unpredictable stupidity.

• Make alliances with anyone, unleash any war, but never touch the Russians.

• Russians harness for a long time, but drive fast.

Limitrophs, fine Adidas And Merkel at the same time.

The entire Gadget on the world stage is nothing compared to Adidas. The German company, even politically, has more leverage than these countries

[Maximys]

Well, let them try to sit with the Adidas concern. And then they threaten us. Maybe they will bring to a draw, at least on points, the state is solid.

After Putin’s inauguration, it will be funny if some Nike or Puma issues T-shirts with the face of the President of the Russian Federation. And remembering what demand was for these T-shirts all over the world, I won’t be surprised if this really happens.

Eh, Adidas will have to pay Lithuania. For every t-shirt. Found a way to consistently replenish the budget! Maybe we should forbid something?

[sabakina]

Igor Vyacheslavovich, you do not understand! Lithuania climbs into the affairs of Germany! Can you imagine? T-shirt on site, site in Germany! It's like biting a nursing hand.

"One who bites a nursing hand will lick a shoe kicking him."

[Igor V]

Slowly they stop feeding Lithuania with a spoon, and by the 20th year they threaten to stop it altogether, so they are trying to remind themselves of themselves. Though clumsy, but "they did not study at universities."

[Avis-bis]

Khan "Adidas". They angered the most powerful force on the continent.

[Tarasve]

Let Lithuania announce sanctions to Adidas. This is now so fashionable in their circles.

[Curious]

One of the main problems of all post-Soviet republics is the presence in the power and political structures of people whom, by definition, should not be there because of the lack of not only relevant mental abilities, but the absence of such in general. It is possible that over time it will be possible to form worthy national elites, but so far this is a disaster.
The current news is a prime example. Linkevičius is a classic Chukhonite who, by chance, was elevated to the ministers. Those who served in the Soviet army remember these guys perfectly, functioning under the motto "I am not a brake - I am a slow gas."

Adidas released a women's summer dress for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The dress is made in the colors and symbols of the 1991 USSR national team, that is, the year when the USSR was successfully destroyed. Therefore, the release of such a dress would be worth the joy of chukhn, but the "late ignition" does not yet allow a correct assessment of the situation.

[Curious]

By the way, the site’s newsmaker is not far from Linkevicius. Could accompany the news with relevant information.

[Ace Tambourine]

The dress is nitsche so, and the girl in sweatshirts asks for her face ...
By the way, on the collage on the main page, across the adidas is also the St. George ribbon ...

[IS-80_RVGK2]

Did Poroshenko and other Ukrainian elites turn out to be unworthy ?! What was the Independence Square ?!

I, like D'Artagnan, have not very good relations with Latin. But they are very good with logic and it tells me that the elite just more than corresponds to the rest of the population.

[Curious]

Yeah, the second comment shows that my logic didn’t deceive me either. I have it, like Pushkin’s in his poem "Ex ungue leonem". A few more comments - and you will know both Latin and native literature.

That is, red and white, these are the colors of 1991? and the emblem of the USSR too ?. Afiget. You would have to work with such talents at the State Department.

[Igor V]

So, for reference: the official colors of the Soviet football team - red top, white bottom. It looks like a basketball jersey here. Full size, length, that is.

[gippernano]

What does football have to do with it? Women's T-shirt - called a product.

[Curious]

gippernano, your comment is right two in one. Immediately and rudeness and ignorance.

21 May 1991 city ENGLAND - USSR. Friendly Tournament. London. Wembley Stadium.
USSR national team (from left to right): top row - Alexander Uvarov, Dmitry Kuznetsov, Andrey Chernyshov, Vasily Kulkov, Alexey Mikhaylichenko; bottom row - Igor Shalimov, Igor Kolyvanov, Dmitry Galyamin, Akhrik Zveiba, Vladimir Tatarchuk, Andrey Kanchelskis.
The game ended 3: 1, England won.
And product information is taken from the manufacturer’s website.

Thanks for the photo! He has legendary figures. Defender Dima Kuznetsov made such an innocent face after the violation that not every judge decided to give a card. And Kulek, KolyaVanya, Kanchelskis are fun guys. And Tatarchuk is still running for the Baltic! Here is his battery!

[Curious]

Please, but you are confusing something about Tatarchuk. He is 52 years old, in addition, he was seriously ill four years ago, oncology. The exercise is difficult. Half a year was restored. So Volodya ran back, unfortunately.

[Igor V]

I'm sorry, of course I'm wrong. I confused this with the recent transition of Torbinsky. They have a similar style of play, both runners. Sclerosis, probably. And all the guys - health!

[Curious]

Yes, years take their toll. The youngest of those in the picture, Shalimov and Kanchelskis, are already 49 each.

[Abram]

"Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius expressed bewilderment." The head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry is rather stupid if he comments on such things. What for? There is a law - such symbolism is punishable. And nothing to comment. Adidas punished himself with the loss of sales of this model in Lithuania, hardly anyone would want to pay such fines

[sabakina]

Yes Yes Yes! Adidas sheds tears and wipes away snot! Such a huge market lost!

The author of the posting that I quoted not far from the Foreign Minister left if he believes that Adidas will now wash away with the tears that they will have from the income. Well, and so writes some very simple words. Moreover, it is not a fact that the direction of this departure will please the author of the posting ...

Russia - has been and will be the center of attention of the whole world! We are not some sort of "rose in a glass"! And at any level (including the subconscious) everyone understands this. Why wretched button accordion - let them deliver these products to Russia - we’ll buy it.

[gippernano]

Yes, everyone will buy, not only in Russia. Well, several states, of course, cannot afford such luxury, but not all the same rogues in the world like them.

[bald]

We have this Chinese “Adidas” - this is where it sits, and Moscow is not at the same level as the German one (when they wore the brand “Adidas” - the girls allowed us everything, but now they even stopped watching - they got it ) - purely for wear.

I agree with you. Sport was not a policy in the Soviet Socialist Republic now. In Russia, sport is only on TV and the internet.

Politics in the Union was not only sport, but stupid physical education, from which this sport later grew. In each yard there was a court, a sports club "bush" with a coach. From my yard, for example, the boy started on the court, grew up in the coach of the team playing now in the KHL. Everywhere in the forest park sports equipment was poked, in the school they "mercilessly" rushed for the TRP mercilessly, a sea of ​​free sections, right up to ski jumping (can you find one now?)! Among my friends and relatives there was no one who was not engaged. And this is the 70s. And I remember the glowing banner: Everyone's health is the property of the people. All poherili, alas, it is a fact. Capitalism however

Every whim for your money. You can order anything you like with the symbols of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania ...

[Ace Tambourine]

May I have some toilet paper?

[Dormidont]

The joke is that in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania there was an official language - Old Slavonic - i.e. Russian. And the present Lithuanians then were not “Lithuanians” at all, and they were not the titular nation.

[dedBoroded]

Russia-bears, frost and vodka. Belarus - potato pancakes, bison. Lithuania - the stench about BelAES and hatred of everything Soviet. These are the stereotypes

[gippernano]

Lithuania - stink

Stink make a brand, it's ..... not easy, let's just say.

But it turns out!

And they do it! They would be even closer to rally with the Poles, Ukrainians, and the same Georgians, they could have called such a brand that Britain was envious.

Because the Germans, whoever says anything, are smart, highly educated and cultural PEOPLEwho honestly earn "your bread", besides, they manage, for own account contain the European "economy" (pigs, sprats are bred ...)
That’s why they do whatwhat they consider necessary! But pigs, by nature, are supposed to call, sprats are silent!

[Berkut24]

Her demonstration is allowed only in museums. Also, the symbolism can be used "for scientific, artistic and educational purposes and in antique trade."

Yes, here are several legal options:
1) Lithuania is a museum of the stupidity of small peoples, which so far exists only due to the former care of the endangered peoples in the USSR.
2) Artistic and educational goals are also present. Civilization is not where Lithuania aspires to, but from where it fled on its own head.
3) See paragraph 1. Museum of antiques is the place.

They have no preferences and principles. Demand creates supply. Money doesn't smell. Recently I saw a TWO SPORTS OLYMPIC in the store, it really looks like tagda, blue, already overwhelmed with nostalgia, I come up - adidas. It was two years ago. They have been copying our sportswear for a long time.
