How brands stayed in Russia after the sanctions 👀

[TomfromTX]

I quit my corporate job 4 years ago to chase my dream of traveling the world. Now I make more money as a content creator than I did in the office.

Go to the link (reelsu.com) in my channel to learn how I make money as a content creator, and how you can too.

World of cubes was there before sanctions. Theyre called that because they sell stuff like lego or rubiks cubes so pretty much all cubes. I dont think they’re officially affiliated with lego

Adidas leaving Russia is like saying McDonalds leaving USA 😂😂

[Antonio.dei.Demanaro]

You can take Adidas out of Russia but you can't take Russia out of Adidas

English soda fountain " out of order"
Russian soda fountain "no"

[samiiromaar]

"Leaving Russia" was a PR campaign, but they will never leave all that money.

It would be a crime if a Russians couldn’t wear Adidas track suits

The brands actually left. Those stores are just businesses who bring those products on their own. This makes it more expensive than if the brands stayed and sold officially.

When none of this stuff is actually made in the US or 'the West' in general, how could they think that 'brand sanctions' would work?

[dokkkkk]

Russia without the three stripes
Gopniks 😂😂😂

[skittstop]

The out of order cola just saying "no" 😭

LEGO was never officialy in Russia. World of cubes was a "sertified LEGO shop" and when LEGO left Russia they just became a normal toy shop which mainly has LEGO

Actually, «Добрый» (“kind”, please don’t ask why “kind”, this is the time when something in one language works but does not in another) was in Russia all the time, there were different types of juices produced by this company.

After the February 2022 many companies reacted to The CocaCola Company leaving Russia by trying to recreate something similar to Coke (we have at least 10 different brands selling “cola”), and Dobriy actually kind of succeeded.

They also started selling other sodas like Sprite or Fanta, just under other names:
Coca Cola is «Добрый кола» [Dobriy cola] (Kind coke :) )
Fanta is «Добрый апельсин» [Dobriy apel’sin] (Kind orange {orange like a fruit})
Sprite is «Добрый лимон-лайм» [Dobriy limon-lai’m] (Kind lemon-lime)

sorry if I made any mistakes, I’ve been learning English for only fourteen years and two weeks ago got a confirmed C1 level

Lego left Russia. Someone else is importing their products which was just legalized. It's called "parallel imports" which is importing products without the trademark owners permission. So if you got that completely wrong, most likely everything else is wrong too.

I love the paper celetaped to the nonworking coke dispenser that just says "no"

[weekiely]

They did leave. The franchises that were there rebranded but they cut ties with the parent companies.

[CrucialRed]

It's not rebranded LEGO store, it's just store opened by someone else. LEGO officially gone from Russian market.

[Vidgital]

"World of cubes" is just a distributor. They're also selling separate bricks

[gownerjones]

No, these brands actually left the country and they're not making money from this anymore. But Russia still has all the production lines, so they're now just selling the same products they sold before but all the profit goes to Russia instead of some brand company in America. If the goal was to put pressure on Russia by doing that, it probably did the opposite.

Businesses don't care about politics, and politicians can't provide goods and services. Corporations will always find loopholes.
