On the advertising market of tourist services in Yekaterinburg another scandal erupted. Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) for the Sverdlovsk region began hearing about using the image of former President Vladimir Putin in advertising local travel company. In recent years the tourism market capital of the Urals became replete with flamboyant advertising. Continuing the local trends, travel company Astra with the support of the advertising agency "Sunrise" in March, held in Yekaterinburg, an advertising campaign, where billboards portrayed a man like Vladimir Putin. The poster was placed open on the first page of the passport, part of which was covered by a flight ticket with the logo "Asters" and says "Time to rest." Fragments were visible on the passport photograph and the name in which it was difficult not to know then-incumbent President. According to lawyers, according to the law on advertising for use in advertising the image of man and especially his face must be authorized by this citizen. However, in this case, part of the face is hidden, so the Anti-Monopoly Service will be difficult to prove a violation of the law. However, if the fault of the company will be proved, then the citizen (in this case - Vladimir Putin) has the right to demand compensation for damages either as part of the profits earned as a result of this campaign. It is curious that for a long time local FAS did not respond to this advertisement. And just last Thursday was "the proceedings initiated against" advertising agency "Sunrise" and "travel company" Astra "for violating Section 5 of Article. 5 of the Federal Law" On Advertisement ", as expressed in use in advertising a travel agency Astra Image Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, "the site says Yekaterinburg administration.
