It makes me think of Mayor Luzhkov who controlled everything in Moscow to the extent that he had thugs roaming he city in the center letting people what they could and couldn't put on their businesses windows, what font styles he would allow etc etc efc. IKEA couldn't agree with them about the first store in Moscow and tax rates so they opened a store hundreds of feet outside the city limits and he immediately banned IKEA from advertising in the city with all kinds of insane reasons that were comical, challenging every single ad as being "inappropriate" or "racist" or whatever and then letting people know "we don't need to explain why". It's how business is done in Russia. They are immature and vindictive like no other people on earth.,
