“The Red Square has special status. It’s a sacred place of the Russian state. There are symbols that must not be trivialized or besmeared, because the future of the state depends on it,” Russian MP Sergey Obukhov said.
As a member of the Communist party, he may have an extra grudge towards the trunk expo, which is located just next to the mausoleum of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. The fact was not missed by some sarcastic Russian bloggers, who were quick to publish images of the historic site Photoshopped to feature the Louis Vuitton monogrammed pattern.

Syarikat itu mempunyai rekod iklan gergasi. Kembali pada tahun 2011 ia didirikan 20 meter, 4 meter yang batang tiang olok-olok di daerah kaya di China Shanghai.
Pembinaan itu menarik api dari pegawai-pegawai tempatan, kerana peraturan-peraturan di bandar ini berkata iklan yang tidak boleh lebih tinggi daripada 9 meter. Dan penduduk tempatan menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa batang tiang itu mungkin tidak selamat untuk orang ramai, kerana ia menduduki ruang terlalu banyak di kaki lima dan memaksa orang ramai berjalan di jalan raya.
Pembinaan itu akhirnya dibongkar.
The company has its record of gigantic ads. Back in 2011 it erected a 20-meters high, 4-meter long mock-trunk in a wealthy district in China’s Shanghai.
The construction drew fire from local officials, because the city’s regulations said ads cannot be higher than 9 meters tall. And local residents voiced concern that the trunk may be unsafe for the public, because it occupied too much space in the sidewalk and forced people to walk on the road.
The construction was eventually dismantled.

Tetapi baru-baru ia disebut dalam media kerana prestasi (performance) artis kejutan kontroversi itu, yang dibogelkan dan dipaku skrotum ke kaki lima dalam tanda protes politik.
Tidak seperti acara Louis Vuitton ini, prestasi diri pencacatan berlangsung selama kurang daripada satu jam, tetapi ia menyebabkan bahagiannya daripada kontroversi juga. Reaksi umum bagaimanapun adalah lebih dekat dengan daya tarikan mengerikan daripada kerengsaan yang lazimnya di media sosial sekarang.
But more recently it was mentioned in the media due to a controversial shock artist’s performance, who stripped naked and nailed his scrotum to its pavement in a gesture of political protest.
Unlike Louis Vuitton’s event, the self-mutilation performance lasted for less than an hour, but it caused its share of controversy as well. The general reaction however was closer to morbid fascination rather than the irritation prevailing on social media now.
