That is a very, very provocative, dangerous bit of imaginary and it shouldn't be played around with lightly. We all know what the intended meaning was (and Randblade has covered some of the problems with what it was actually trying to say), but it doesn't change how problematic the basic image is. It's like, you can do a picture of a black guy with a bone through his nose eating a watermelon and say the water melon actually represents institutional racism and the bone is the history of slavery or something, but it's still a picture of a black guy with a bone through his nose, eating a watermelon.

Also, only three of the four BRICs countries are represented here. One is missing. Why do we think that is?
We think that would be because Russians have never brought forward anything distinctive enough to be recognized at one glance. It took you quite a while to figure that one out, or did you just happen to read about it in some third rate article?

Now, since you forced me to watch the ad again; how do you come to the conclusion that these men attack the woman at all? All they do is make some hostile gestures indicative of some more violent ways of conflict solving but they never even come within striking distance of her.

The very obvious reason why those men were aggressive was to make the point that Europe is not aggressive in its dealings with other nations. It's a weebit arrogant maybe, but it's the consistent message the EU gives off about being a soft-power superpower.
