Burton stores stopped the sale of a particular T-shirt collection because it flaunted a slogan offensive to Russia and its people.
These T-shirts had a printed logo proclaiming, 'Ochistim Rus Ot Vsekh Nerusskikh!' meaning, 'We will cleanse Russia of all non-Russians!'.
Sources say that the retailer was unaware of the rude slogan. Company assumed it meant 'Be proud of Russia!', since the supplier assured them that it was a patriotic saying.
T-shirts were taken off the rack after being on sale just a week.
