“…Nevertheless, in both cases, much of the furor about Russia political controversies faded away once the Games began (Ekberg & Strange, 2017). The US-led boycott of Moscow 1980 was reported as a result of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 (Tulli, 2016). In fact, calls to move the Games away from the Soviet Union started almost as soon as Moscow was announced as the host city in 1974.…”

“…Those calls were mainly based on the country's repeated violations of human rights. They escalated further in 1978, with repression of minorities and dissidents, forced displacement of residents, and use of forced labor (Tulli, 2016). Since Moscow 1980, different actions have been proposed to deal with lack of respect for human rights associated with the OG (Ekberg & Strange, 2017).…”

Th e aim of this study was to investigate whether 2018 FIFA World Cup (FWC) consumers would engage in political consumerism to reduce a perceived dissonance between host country (Russia) brand image and FWC brand attributes. Literature has associated Russia-hosted sport mega-events (SME) with violations of human rights. Drawing on cognitive dissonance theory, we investigate UK consumers (n = 417) on their perceptions about Russia's brand image (cognitive and aff ective attributes) and FWC brand attributes before and aft er the event. Online questionnaires were used to collect data, which were analyzed via covariance-based structural equation modeling. Findings showed that intentions did not diff er from behaviors of political consumerism toward 2018 FWC products. Lower evaluations of aff ective host image attributes led to more political consumerism. Higher perceptions of the FWC attributes led to less political consumerism. Results inform FIFA (and possibly other SME owners) on how poor human rights practices (aff ective attributes) may aff ect the consumption of their products. Results also inform hosts about ineff ectiveness of associating themselves with brands like FWC without showing concerns about human rights.

This article traces the devolution of Soviet anti-racism and the emergence of ethnonationalist violence amid the collapse of the Soviet Union. Through an analysis of Uzbek writer Hamid Ismailov’s novel Mbobo/The Underground (2009), it explores the contradictions of Soviet anti-racism at the interface of flesh and place, metaphor and materiality, ecology and affect—contradictions manifested in the ways in which Brown and Black bodies were mapped onto the triumphalist architecture of socialist internationalism. Attending to built infrastructures—metro stations, sports arenas, concert halls, and conference venues—and the bodies of visibly marked internal and international others who constructed, inhabited and moved through these spaces, it discusses how these bodies were conscripted in the material manifestation of socialist internationalism and then made the targets of racialized violence in the waning days of the Soviet Union.
