The Russian division of the American cosmetics brand NYX cut out a painted man from an advertising poster. Petersburg makeup artist and beauty blogger with Instagram nickname @ polidjo9 drew attention to this.
In her stories, the girl published two pictures. The first is the original NYX ad campaign, which features a young man and four girls wearing wigs and bright makeup. The next one is the same poster posted in the Russian store of the brand. However, the young man - the blue-eyed blonde with makeup - is no longer on him.

In October 2018, Belarusian schoolchildren discovered that the cover photo of their social studies textbook was taken from a stock photo and edited: black people were removed from the image.
