Under Lenin, Soviet Russia invaded Poland but was defeated at the Battle of Warsaw in 1920, so using phone ads aimed at Poles that feature him would be like running ads aimed at Americans that feature Tōjō Hideki.
No, it is far worse. Part of Poland was occupied by the Soviets from 1939-41 and all of Poland a from 1939-1945. 1/3 of Poland became part of Ukraine and there was considerable ethnic cleansing of Poles.

I suppose they that the company involved would find use of Molotov Bread Baskets or Cocktails less amusing.

I was referring to what happened under Lenin.

Incidentally, a big chunk of the Polish territory annexed by the Soviet Union became part of what is now Belarus, and its inhabitants are today living under the dictator Alexander Lukashenko.
