Pushkin Russian Restaurant has been receiving threats, cancellations and 1-star reviews in wake of the invasion
Numerous San Diego restaurant owners took steps over the weekend to show their support for the Ukrainian people by pulling Russian vodka from their bar shelves, while one local Russian restaurant is reeling from a wave of public attacks.
As soon as Russia invaded Ukraine, Gazaryan said phone calls started coming in from phones with blocked caller IDs. Some of them sounded like teenagers making crank calls but some of the callers were adults, shouting and making threats. One long-booked party of 20 canceled their reservation over the weekend and a man from Ukraine who hosted weekly board games at Pushkin said his group will find another place to meet.
“Trying to cancel a restaurant because it has Russia in its name is hurting our employees and it’s hurting their families in Ukraine who they send money to,” Gazaryan said. In the wake of the post, many other restaurant owners joined the effort, including George’s at the Cove, Jake’s Del Mar, Mille Fleurs, King’s Seafood, Callie, Black Rail Kitchen, Café Sevilla, Rockin’ Baja Lobster, Johnny B’s Burgers & Spirits, Curbside Eatery and the Urban Kitchen Group.
