Concern "Kalashnikov" denies reports of unwillingness to cooperate with Stephen Seagal

47
The Kalashnikov Concern refutes the information that appeared in the Russian media that allegedly refuses to cooperate with Stephen Seagal. The concern stated that the words that “Kalashnikov” refused to cooperate with an American actor because of the sanctions imposed on Russia have nothing to do with reality.

RIA News quotes the official representative of the Russian arms concern:

At the moment, we really do not have a contract with Steven Seagal, but neither the concern nor the Seagal itself refused (cooperation) because of sanctions from the United States. The concept of the brand has been revised, but we do not exclude the possibility of attracting a brand ambassador.

Concern "Kalashnikov" denies reports of unwillingness to cooperate with Stephen Seagal


It is reported that the updated brand of the Kalashnikov concern will be presented in November.

For reference: Steven Seagal is an American actor, in whose career more than fifty different films, including “Under Siege” and “Under Siege 2”, “Ultimate Depth”, “Machete”, “Foreigner”. Steven Seagal claims that his ancestors came to the States from Russia. Seagal is a frequent guest in the Russian Federation. At one time, his candidacy as an advertising person for the Russian arms concern was offered by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

      I agree with Rogozin. Good candidacy. Colorful character.

            By the way, not a lot of the topic, pi ... races, a common curse in Bulgaria. In Italy, our translator is a Bulgarian by nationality (she knew Russian and Italian fluently) and rubbed something for the drivers of our bus for a long time, the same is true for her compatriots - Bulgarians. Then she could not stand it and switched to Russian using the word indicated at the beginning. And ... oh, miracle, the Bulgarians drove everything!

      Kalashnikov refused to use Stephen Seagal as a brand ambassador for its products. According to the Izvestia newspaper, citing a source in the enterprise, this decision is due to sanctions imposed by the United States on a number of Russian companies, among which was the concern itself.

      “The matter did not go further than conversations - we have not concluded any preliminary agreements and contracts. During Stephen Segal's visit to the Kalashnikov stand at the Oboronexpo-2014 exhibition in August, the topic of advertising cooperation was not raised, ”the concern's representative explained.

      As the source said, Kalashnikov is now completing the formation of a new brand, which is scheduled to launch in November. To promote it in the markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America, another advertising person may be invited.

      An advertising contract with the participation of Stephen Seagal Kalashnikov announced in January 2014. Its conditions are unknown. According to Izvestia, the cost of the services of an American actor could cost two tens of millions of rubles.

      The US imposed sanctions against the Kalashnikov and a number of other Russian companies in July 2014 amid the aggravation of the situation in Ukraine. At the same time, the concern sold up to 90 percent of its civilian weapons on the American market. In January 2014 alone, a five-year contract was signed for the annual supply to the USA and Canada from 80 thousand to

      If Segal advertises Kalashnikov in the form of "polite people", it will be quite interesting. But it seems to me that Segal should not be the only face of the concern. You can invite someone else. Because this ad should be the main brand, not Seagal.

      This American (Jeff Monson) could also be invited to participate in the advertising of Russian weapons. I think I would agree with a bang ...
      His last (in a row) entry into the ring is especially pleasing ...

      So the famous "Snowman" expressed support for the south-east of Ukraine.
      The famous American MMA fighter Jeffrey Monson surprised and delighted the audience at the international mixed martial arts tournament in Saransk.
      The legendary “Snowman”, on the right shoulder of which the Russian words “freedom” and “solidarity” flaunt, entered the ring under the anthem of Donbass.
      The athlete himself explained this by the fact that he thus wanted to support the residents of southeast Ukraine in their struggle the right to choose their own path.
      “I chose this anthem because the people of Donbass want to be part of Russia, and politicians create many problems and obstacles. Residents of Ukraine and Russia are fraternal peoples. Residents of Donbass have the right to choose their own path, and they want to be with Russia. I agree with them, ”he said.
      Recall that the current fight between the American and Russian Dmitry Titkov is the main fight of the Fight Star tournament in Mordovia. By the way, 43-year-old Jeff Monson has repeatedly confessed his love for Russia. In his own words, he "is more Russian than even many Russians."
