Benu Pen leaves Russia after its owner, Kate Dmitrieva, spoke in support of Ukraine. Alex Semanin, chief designer, was also reportedly arrested (info starts at 0:07:30 mark) for joining protests against Russia’s invasion.
The pen brand and social media users reviewing its products were also recently criticized in relation to Benu’s Russian origins.
