The Beginning: A Peculiar Article


What piqued my interest in the rise of Russian culture and Russian Fashion was a peculiar article in the New York Times surrounding an ad for Louis Vuitton of the last leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, which in and of itself is a bit unusual for Louis Vuitton (compared to say, Scarlett Johanson), but became more curious when it surfaced that the ad featured Gorbachev beside a Louis Vuitton duffle bag, with a defamatory article about what had been the current Putin regime.
