\u00a0In March 2022, a major event took place at a stadium in Moscow. It was a rally to commemorate the 8th anniversary of Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea. At this event, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a speech lasting 5 minutes. He defended Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in his address. Yet, what captured people\u2019s attention was the jacket worn by Putin that day. It was a product of Loro Piana, an Italian high-end brand. The jacket\u2019s price was 1.5 million rubles, roughly equivalent to 16 million KRW. For Russian citizens, this sum was the equivalent of two years\u2019 worth of wages. Globally, widespread criticism was directed at Putin. As Russian citizens faced poverty, President Putin was seen in an expensive jacket. Despite Putin\u2019s emphasis on patriotism, he rarely wears clothing made in Russia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
