The co-founder of Bundobust has called upon hospitality owners to stop using Russian vodka.
Marko Husak, who is of Ukrainian origin and who has relatives still in the major cities as invading Russian forces advance, said that the move is about ‘chipping away’ piece by piece at the state economy.
Brands like Stolichnaya and Russian Standard are among the most prominent Russian brands, and though produced and bottled outside Russia, proceeds from the trademarks will still filter back to the state.
