Latvia removes the Tetris console that plays the Russian national anthem.
A journalistic investigation in Latvia led to the removal of a children's Tetris console from Rimi stores after it was found to be playing the Russian national anthem. A resident of Yalgava reported the issue, and the Bez Tabu team confirmed the tune at the Rimi store in Riga.
Rimi stated that the toy had been for sale for three weeks, supplied by an Estonian partner, and removed it in all the Baltic states. Dutch manufacturer Toi-Toys claimed the inclusion was unintentional and promised measures to prevent a recurrence. 19 units were sold in Latvia and forty throughout the Baltic states.
