This year marks fifty years since the founding of the international organization Amnesty internationaldedicated to preventing human rights violations around the world. For this anniversary, the Czech creative agency Euro RSCG just created two cakesdepicting famous dictators … The creativity of the Euro RSCG company is well known to the regular readers of the site. Culturology. RF … For example, we have already talked about the original advertisement for a hairdressing salon, a creative calendar dedicated to the end of the world, as well as a funny advertisement for Mentos, created by this Czech company. Now Euro RSCG has designed a series of posters for the nongovernmental organization Amnesty International.
Statistics show that most of all human rights are violated in countries where dictators or military regimes are in power: Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Myanmar, Belarus.
Euro RSCG sneers, hinting that it is the dictators who give life to Amnesty International, it is thanks to them that hundreds of people around the world have jobs (we are talking about the organization's employees, of course). Therefore, on the fiftieth anniversary of Amnesty International, Czech creatives have created two cakes, one of which is made in the form of the face of Fidel Castro, the other - of Alexander Lukashenko.
True, these cakes themselves never made it to the festive table at Amnesty International. The guys from Euro RSCG photographed these masterpieces of culinary art and created a series of posters based on the images.
Moreover, a piece has already been cut off in each of these cakes. This symbolizes the decades-long efforts of Amnesty International staff to reduce human rights abuses. “50 years with you, reducing oppression” is the slogan on the Amnesty International posters developed by Euro RSCG.

The consequences of the 1953 amnesty, in particular the siege of Ulan-Ude by criminals, are poorly understood. However, there are eyewitness accounts that become important for historians and interesting for contemporaries
