“Ugh, whoever else comes to you, the administration should be ashamed,” one of the bloggers noted without choosing words. The author of another comment also disagreed with the owners: “No, no and no! Maybe your kitchen is good and you cook great, but from a political point of view, you’re treading on pretty thin ice.”
Bloggers also recalled the black pages in the history of Germany itself, where citizens were isolated because of their origin.
Such a harsh reaction had a sobering effect on the restaurant’s management. His administrator wrote that “no one wanted to offend anyone because of nationality.” And then the restaurant’s website was completely disabled. Later, pictures of empty tables of the establishment appeared on social networks.
At the same time, offensive inscriptions began to appear on the facades of shops owned by Russian Germans, or where people from Russia simply work. “Don’t buy here, Putin’s supporters work here”, “Putin’s supporters – get out of Germany!” – they say.
So far, these are individual cases. But there is no reaction of the German authorities to such harassment on a national basis yet. This means that the campaign against the Russian-speaking population may gain momentum.
Reports began to appear in the German blogosphere that allegedly some retail chains began to withdraw Russian goods from the shelves. There are not so many of them in Germany compared to goods from other countries, but they are there. These are kefir “Kalinka”, condensed milk, pickled cucumbers and other traditional Russian food. Many Russian products, by the way, are produced under license in Germany itself.
Moreover, there are reports that teachers in German schools are being offered to conduct “political information” with an emphasis on supporting Ukraine. However, so far such cases are isolated.
