Ok so it's actually sponsoring, they are being forced to contribute by the Russian government. Not a nebulous 'still doing business and paying taxes therefore..'
So, they could have chosen to leave the country, but they chose to stay and and take on the extra demands of the government.

Ok, rexona, i'll choose a different product next time i need to get deodorant in few weeks. Bit bummed about lipton as a company too, but i have no problem avoiding that too.
I jusr popped off an email to the corporate office in my country and left a message at https://www.unilever.com/contact/ asking to know why they're still operating in Russia and promising to not shop Unilever until they stop. I also reviewed the list of Unilever brands available in my country and added them to my boycott list.
