Reservations have decreased by 60%, which led to an increase in phone calls and emails with disliked images.The classic restaurant “Russian Samovar” in Manhattan breaks out of the conflict caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and wages its own war.
“From the first days of the war, we have a hate message, a one-star rating on Google with photos, a request to end the war, a photo of Ukrainian children, a unique message, called Nazis Nazis.” Vlad Fon Schatz, a Russian of Ukrainian grandparents, reports about AFP and married a Ukrainian Jew from Odessa.
The owner of one of the oldest Russian restaurants in Manhattan, located in the heart of the theater district next to Broadway, has a deadly atmosphere, despite live music when he started to raise his head after suffering for two years from the Covid-19 pandemic. There is a word “Russian”.
“Before the Russian Federation, it was a Russian samovar (Russian samovar), so changing the name is not an option,” he angrily says AFP.
“I don't even want the right to change the name because I didn't call the restaurant. My stepfather and mother gave it to them (36 years ago).”
Like you, other Russian restaurants in New York mocked and boycotted critics about the war in Ukraine, and the waiting line grew superficially as a sign of support in Ukrainian restaurants.
From the first day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, on February 24, the Ponshats family put the Ukrainian flag on the door and put the mark “We are against the war.”
“How do you explain to your son that he is 31 when he receives a phone call and calls him a Nazi? He is a Jew! I don't know what I can do to express my anger as a mother,” she added that this was one of Frank Sinatra's favorite places in Manhattan before she belonged to her family.
People “do not understand the difference between Russia and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. This is not our war, but Putin's war.” “We didn't believe it.” He repeats his mantra before saying “We are angry” to “Russians living in America, Ukrainian Jews,” because “we take away our heritage and freedom.”
Before referring to the past as “a safe place for artists who fled from the USSR,” he said, “We have nothing to do with it.”
“I want people to understand that anger has been misdirected. We have not started this war. We can't tell Putin to stop it,” he concluded.
