I know that it is not a good time for many people at the moment. But we are a modeling community and not a political platform. If you hate the war, please show it somewhere else and stop changing the name of the kit. The same goes for the same figure in 1:16 scale.

I can view the history of the changes to this entry and can say that I believe Scalemates Admin has dealt with the issue.

Well, apparently the Scalemates admin also solved the "problem" with my comment. I tried to answer Ingo F's comment in detail, but I needed a few edits, since I do not speak English and I am writing the answer through an online translator. However, either due to comment corrections or for political reasons, my comment was removed and my releases were removed from the main "New releases (2022-2023)" page. Well, I was expecting something like this. At least the pages with my releases have not yet been deleted, and that's enough.

i have not removed any comments
Only thing I did is that I restored your product details + pictures. No need to insinuate anything
New releases (2022-2023) is also visible
end of discussion

Thanks for sorting this out. 👍
@Ilya
Thanks for the information. I know what the correct name is and it is also on the picture. I also understand the language. I don't think you changed the name either. I suspect it was someone who either thought it was funny or was quite upset.
I found it very annoying that someone changed the name over and over again.
We are all modeling enthusiasts and equal regardless of gender, color, nationality or political affiliation. It has always been that way here and should stay that way.
I think we all want peace in the world and are against war, no matter where it is being fought.
I really did not want to start a political discussion with it.

I apologize to the site administrator, maybe I clicked something wrong and deleted the comment. There was just a comment, and then when I went next time it was gone.
I'm not sure how to spell the name in English correctly, but in Russian the full name of this set is "Вежливый человек с котом (современный российский солдат)". I think the correct title in English would be "Polite Man with a Cat (modern Russian soldier)", but in both cases the word "Man" was removed after publication.

Ingo F, this is probably inevitable and will show up in our hobby from time to time. I also think that our hobby should be out of politics and there are other places for such discussions. My previous releases didn't get that reaction (I don't think there were even any comments at all) and I think there will be the same silence when I post a release of a doctor in a hazmat suit at a COVID hospital. I worked for 2 years in one of them and decided to capture the hard work of doctors in miniature, even if this project will be a complete commercial failure and bring me losses. Most likely, these figures of doctors will bypass even pirates and we will not see pirated copies on AliExpress😂

Maybe not, you can still use the doctor figure for some kind of Zombie diorama. 😄

This will also be a static figure. I think it will fit 1/43 scale collectible ambulances well, but I have big doubts about 1/35 and 1/16 scales. I scanned myself in this protective suit in February and unfortunately almost a year later I still could not release the figure, but I think that my idea is interesting and maybe someone will find it interesting. For a wider range of buyers, I am planning a bronze statuette, it will be a good "souvenir", including doctors and nurses who do not know how to work with resin figures. But this is a rather expensive project and is still in question. I'm not sure that I have enough money and desire for this.
