Ukraine renames 'Sovetskoye Shampanskoye' under de-communization law
The 'Sovetskoye Shampanskoye' (Soviet Champagne) brand name has fallen under the law on the condemnation of Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and the ban on propaganda of their symbols, and Kyiv's champagne winery Stolichny has had to rename its product.
"From now on, the universally known brand is called 'Sovetovskoye Shampanskoye,'" says a report published on the winery's website.
The company said it had to rename the product for preserving a major attribute of the New Year's Eve celebrations. "Only the name has changed, and the quality of the sparkling wine loved by everyone remains high," the winery said.
