And just like that the Russians all retreat, right? Over some dressing... It's probably about as Russian as Taco Bell is Mexican food.
I did hear someone earlier this weekend call to boycott Russian vodka. Which I guess makes sense, except I'm not sure I know of anyone that actually drinks Russian vodka.
Smirnoff turns out to currently be owned by the British (and if you get it in the US, it's probably made here). Smirnoff himself was Russian but communism happened. Absolut is owned by the French and produced in Sweden. Grey Goose is French.
Stolichnaya obviously
I thought that was in Latvia (says so on the bottle), but it turns out

Meanwhile i'm thinking of visiting my local Russian store for the first time in 5 years curious what opinion the immigrant owners will have. I assume they hate Putin but will they support Ukraine?
They may not even hate Putin. There are reasons someone would leave a country that don't include them hating it or its leaders. You never know until you ask. Just keep in mind the fact that people generally don't want to be the villain in their own story.
No please! Somebody think of the vegetables!
