• In the context of the war in Ukraine, a Lille restaurant specializing in Russian specialties received a threatening letter.

  • The managers, Russian and Ukrainian, deplore this act and ensure that they do not play politics.

  • The restaurant has received a lot of support, especially on social networks.

Russophobic crow.

An anonymous and threatening letter was received by the managers of a Russian specialty restaurant located in Lille, in the North.

In the context of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, it is an act that deeply saddens those concerned even if, fatalistically, they expected such initiatives.

"You just have to leave France as soon as possible, you will thus do a double blow because your presence is absolutely no longer desired in France, Vladimir [Putin] will explain to you why", can we read on this letter , punctuated by a "farewell" and signed by "French worshipers of Democracy and respect for sovereign countries".

"That's it, here we are!

»

Thinly veiled threats that the Baba Yaga restaurant insisted on publishing on its Facebook page and titled the post of a fatalist “That's it, we're there!

".

However, as of February 24, no doubt because they expected to be stigmatized, the restaurant managers had taken the lead: “Despite the situation and all these terrible events, Baba Yaga is and remains apolitical.

We cook, not politics and that's not bad, ”they wrote.

A precision that will therefore have been useless.

, the two traders, one Russian, the other Ukrainian, did not wish to speak, explaining that they had already been the target of threats in 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea.

Nevertheless, they can count on the support of Internet users from all over France and restaurant customers.

"Many of us are wholeheartedly with you and delighted to have discovered your existence", assures Jacques on the Facebook page of Baba Yaga.

“This letter is a disgrace.

[…] I would like to give you all my support,” added Simon.

"Your presence is absolutely definitely desired!!", encourages Belinda.

And comforting comments of this type, there are already more than 200.
