Moomi Trolls leave Russia
The Finnish company Moomin Characters, which is managed by the heirs of the writer and artist Tove Jansson, refused to issue new licenses to use the images of mummies in Russia and did not extend existing agreements. About this with reference to the company employee reports VPOST.
Details. Moomin Characters made a decision due to sanctions against Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine, as well as its own position of the company.
VPOST writes that, due to the change, one of the largest Moscow shopping centers Afimall was forced to urgently cancel the children's holiday “Spring Festival of Moomi-Trolls”.
What you need to know. After the start of the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian market left many clothing stores and alcohol suppliers. For example, Uniqlo, Nike, H & M, Puma, Levi, and other brands left Russia. Also, alcohol from Pernod Ricard, Diageo and Bacardi ceased to supply alcohol to the country.
