USSR - Paradjanov, Russia - Sentsov

2 min read

As the World Cup is over, it's time to recall the crimes of the country that was its host. AutoMaidan organizes the "USSR - Paradjanov, Russia - Sentsov" event highlighting not only the use of the USSR insignia in the commercial collections, but also the Russian Federation’s bloody succession of the USSR.

The event will take place on Monday, July 16th, at 13:30 near the Adidas store in Kyiv at Permohy Avenue, 25. The event will combine a social action with a press briefing.

The successor to the USSR, Russia continues the inhuman crimes of the Soviet regime - one of which is the illegal political incarceration of Oleg Sentsov.

Using the historical parallels, we draw attention to the fact that the illegal political trial of the Ukrainian director and his further imprisonment reminds us the repressive case of Sergei Paradjanov who was persecuted by the USSR authorities and was sentenced to five years in prison in a strict regime colony.

We draw attention to the crimes of the aggressor that holds the Ukrainian prisoners, and we also demand the withdraw of the ‘USSR’ clothing line as well as the public apology of Adidas CEO Kasper Rørsted.

Adidas not only uses the symbols of the USSR, but the company has also sponsored the World Cup in the Russian Federation. Russia fundamentally violates human rights, as well as legal and ethical laws, apart from funding wars and terrorism. We pay attention to the terrible repetition of history where the crimes of the USSR and Russia are intertwined with illegal political persecution.
