"Not a single bag, not a single thing is worth my love for my Motherland," she captioned the Instagram post."It's not worth my respect for myself. I am against Russophobia. I am against a brand that supports Russophobia.""Chanel is just an accessory," Ermoshkina continued."An accessory that at some point decided to humiliate people, my compatriots, decided to discriminate against people on the basis of nationality, which I will not tolerate.
