Alan Aguichev, the co-owner of New York City restaurant Sveta, has been receiving hateful emails and phone calls because of the Russia-Ukraine war.
"We listed ourselves as modern European, modern Russian," Aguichev told Fox News Digital."The reason is because people just have a better understanding of what they’re eating."
"People were under the assumption that we’re Russian," Aguichev said."And even if we were, let’s just say we were — it really shouldn’t matter. And if you ask me, it’s not like Russian people want this war." Savchitz moved to the U.S. from Kharkiv in 1993, according to the Sveta website. Aguichev said that his mom has two sisters who are still in Ukraine, along with several other relatives who are staying together during the Russian invasion.
Aguichev said that he and his mom send money and call their relatives in Ukraine regularly, though sometimes they don’t answer right away. Aguichev said that the stress of worrying about his family in Ukraine has outweighed any distress from the hateful phone calls and emails they've received."They don’t really phase me, because I’ve got other things to worry about," Aguichev said."Don’t get me wrong: If I was getting vandalized, if I was getting rocks thrown, that’s something I would obviously have a concern about. But that’s not happening, thank God.
