WESTWOOD — Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, UCLA’s students have found a method of protest which caters to the party scene. “Once I found out Putin’s, like, a really bad guy, I knew I could never drink vodka ever again,” said third-year political science student Blair Johansson, who retweeted thirst traps of young Josef Stalin over ten times in 2019. “Now, me and all my friends only drink mint juleps. The South has never done anything wrong, right?” At time of press, Johansson had just discovered that her favorite Just Dance stage “Rasputin” was also Russian.
