the same germany that was happy russia gave back east germany Presentation of the World Cup logo: FIFA shows Crimea as part of Russia see the picture here: spiegel.de/sport/sonst/krim-als-teil-russlands-fifa-entschuldigt-sich-fuer-videopanne-a-1000270.html “For several seconds a map of Russia was shown at the presentation of the official logo for the World Cup 2018 on the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. As part of the Russian Federation, there is pictured also Crimea - although the peninsula belonged until their separation in March to the Ukraine, which does not recognize a controversial referendum until today. Two days after the presentation the World Football Association FIFA has apologized now for the video mistake at the presentation and removed the video. The Organizing Committee engaged a local creative agency with the first showing of the World Cup logo, a FIFA spokesman announced on Thursday and apologized for the incident. Unfortunately the map of Russia selected and used by the local service provider for the projection has escaped our notice, he said in the short statement. The offending short sequence was deleted meanwhile.”
