The Movement “Men’s State” called for the abandonment of the drink of the company “Vyatsky Kvass” because of the advertisement with a black man. On Thursday, September 23, REN TV reports.
As the representatives of the kvass producing company wrote in social networks, Sultan Ali-Abakar took part in their photo project “The Power of Human Nature”, who said that his friend from Sudan was beaten several years ago because of his skin color. After two weeks in the hospital, he left Russia. The Sultan himself also noted that he had heard racially motivated threats against him more than once.
“Why advertise them. Do not drink “Vyatsky kvass”, best of all “Ochakovsky” or “Russian gift”. Drink like real Russian men, ”said one of the participants in the“ Male State ”.
This is how the movement reacted to criticism of Vyatsky Kvass by social media users who did not like the African’s participation in the advertisement. So many demanded to remove the post and called for to stop drinking the drink.
In late August, representatives of the “Men’s State” organization began persecuting the “Tanuki” restaurant after advertising with black models and LGBT symbols.
The founder of the movement, Vladislav Pozdnyakov, urged his supporters to paralyze the work of the company by placing massive orders and refusing them. In addition, Tanuki is convinced that the community is involved in reports of restaurant mining.
In addition, a flurry of criticism from the “Male State” also hit the Yobidoyobi sushi and roll delivery network. The outrage was caused by advertising photos of the company, which depict a black man.
As the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted on August 31, law enforcement agencies should react if the actions of the “Male State” movement show a violation of the law.
On the same day, State Duma deputy Oksana Pushkina sent an appeal to the Prosecutor General of Russia Igor Krasnov with a request to check the activities of the “Male State” movement.
