Therefore, they urgently need to remove these bottles from the shelves.

This is not the first scandal related to the approaching 70th anniversary of Victory Day. More recently, at the end of March, the press discussed the cake contest in Krasnoyarsk for Victory Day. The confectioners presented cakes in the form of the Motherland Monument, burned by soldier's letters, in the form of Red Square and a parade of military equipment, which caused condemnation from the public.

It was originally reported that because of this competition, the Krasnoyarsk Minister of Culture, a member of the government of the region Elena Pazdnikova, resigned . However, the administration of the press service of the head and government of the region later said that the region’s Ministry of Culture had nothing to do with the competition, and Pazdnikova left the post of her own request in connection with the move to another city.

And at the Izhevsk State Technical University, the Body Art contest was held on Victory Day, which the critics of the idea called "Sabbath" and "Provocation". Under the terms of the competition, students painted their bodies with plots from posters by May 9.

Another scandal associated with the Great Patriotic War was erupted when, on the shelves of the central children's store in Lubyanka, recently opened after the reconstruction of the Central Children's store found plastic soldiers in the form of SS . A criminal case was opened on the fact of the sale of an “extremist” article of the Criminal Code. The Moscow prosecutor's office considered that plastic SS men insult veterans of the Great Patriotic War. In the apartments of the director and employees of the department of "Youth Technique", who sold soldiers, searches were held. All sets with the "Nazi soldiers" were seized.

The annoying misunderstandings and cases of manifestation of bad cords associated with the celebration of Victory Day took place earlier. So, a few years ago, on posters on Victory Day, representatives of the public noticed an American tank. In Cheboksary, a German military was depicted in the background in the background. The Chelyabinsk administration issued a poster on which the Nazis, leaning on the Soviet tank, were captured. And last year, beer with St. George ribbons was sold in the Omsk region.
