Taking Their Time

At the cinema this afternoon  I couldn't help noticing that one of the sponsors for the Russian Film Festival now showing round Australia, Mosfilm, appears not to have noticed that it is no longer operating in the Soviet Union:

When I came home I checked to see whether Aeroflot had yet removed the hammer and sickle from its logo. It hasn't either.  Is it just laziness or does something more sinister lie behind the continuing attachment to the symbols of the Soviet Union in modern day Russia? I find it creepy, I have to say.
