Stores and bars across American and other western countries are now pouring out their stocks of Russian produced vodka to prostest the invasion of Ukraine.

As The Daily Beast reports:

From local taverns in the Pacific Northwest to the international halls of government, enterprises across North America are dumping Russian vodka to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.

“SHOTS FIRED!! Starting Saturday Evel Pie Las Vegas is pouring out All of its Russian Vodka bottles and replacing them with Ukrainian Vodka!,” Evel Pie, a punk rock, Evel Knievel-inspired pizzeria in downtown Las Vegas, posted to Facebook on Thursday. The bar’s protest of the Russian invasion includes selling off donated bottles of Russian Standard—for $300 each, with all proceeds going to the International Rescue Committee for Ukraine. The flyer adds that the disgraced bottles were for “pouring out only.”

“When we opened our doors this morning, we had a line of people just there to support,” Branden Powers, Evel Pie’s managing partner, told The Daily Beast. “They were so eager at 11 a.m. to be doing shots and to do their part.”

Far from the Vegas desert of Evel Pie, the Pine Tavern in Bend, Oregon, is likewise taking part in the prohibition resistance. Bill McCormick, the tavern’s owner, announced that his establishment would no longer sell Russian booze. He claimed he was willing to lose hundreds of dollars in vodka sales to stand against the invasion.

The development comes as Russia has been hit by an unprecedented wave of sanctions and penalties that have essentially cut its entire economy off from much of the developed world.

  1. It’s just symbolism, you already paid for it so you are losing money and Russia, if they actually sold it to you they already got paid. Just don’t purchase any new orders, doubt it will make much of a difference, you can’t actually punish a government by not buying their vodka, they probably don’t care. They will get more money from the oil they are selling to Joe Biden.

  2. I remember “back in the day” when Russian dressing had to change its name to Thousand Island dressing. Maybe the intention was sincere but it falls into the silly. Better to get Biden to turn our oil back on.

    1. Yeah. Haven’t figured out why the eco freaks aren’t screaming about Xiden lifting sanctions on Putin’s pipeline…after all, if they are bad for the environment…

  3. That’s it! Someone call Comrade Kerry. We’ll develop engines that burn Russian vodka instead of gas…clean burning alcohol.
