T-shirt
Look Out For The Hammer and Sickle
An Aeroflot t-shirt - like waving a red flag at a bull.
It’s not so long ago that wearing a t-shirt with the name
Aeroflot and picture of a hammer and sickle prominently displayed would have put
you - at the very least - under some sort of surveillance as being a communist
supporter. My how things have changed.
Aeroflot
- Don't Know What It IS?
For those of you who don’t know what Aeroflot is, it is an airline. Not just
an airline it was once the largest airline in the world.
And a Russian Airline at that, it made air travel possible to millions by
offering unrivalled low air fares.
Aeroflot -
It’s An ‘Airline’ for God’s Sake
Because someone wears an Aeroflot t-shirt it is no indication that they are
white-washing oppression or that they endorse the disgusting purges of Stalin.
The large airline wings along with the hammer and sickle
indicate the support for the airline and not an endorsement for communism. So
please relax.
