The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov, appeared in Alaska wearing a sweater with a large inscription "USSR," UNN reports with reference to Russian media.
Details
In the video, Lavrov exits a car, wearing a vest, under which a sweater with a large inscription "USSR" is visible. After the video went viral on social media, the founder of the Russian brand called it a "compliment" and noted that "the popularity of the 'USSR' model has continued since the end of 2023" in Russia.
This year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation purchased these very models, both men's and women's. But we didn't know that Sergey Lavrov himself has our sweater. Of course, for us, this is a special compliment.
