You know what's funny?I found this drink in our stores.
Yes, absolutely, GREAT pics:Thx USSR for all the pics and info!
The price is like for elite vodka. But I can buy. For fun, I’ll buy a 0.5 liter bottle (not strong in gallons)You know what's funny?
We all toast to each other's "good health", and then we follow it by drinking alcohol.
THAT'S funny!!

Shooting stars are paving the wayYes, absolutely, GREAT pics:
- The Sukhoi and Hind shots especially
Just like the Russian vids (top class productions), it seems like Russians have an eye (in general) for the "artful" shot.
I can't even begin to tell you how terrible Stoli is once you've had real Russian vodka. My wife is Russian and my in-laws bring a few bottles every time they come, not to mention when I was there we had a different bottle every night! To say real Russian vodka it is smooth is doing it a disservice. I have mentioned to USSR my favorite previously. I'll spell it phonetically...BRU-INK-AH. It is distilled through birch tree berries, although it has no flavor specifically (don't think it tastes sweet because of the berries...it does not). I also like RED ARMY in the black and red artillery shell bottle. Then, there is Putin's label, or at least the one produced for him...PUTINKA, I think. There was another interesting vodka I had that was brown, although I did not like that as much.View attachment 790915 Here in the States this is an Elite Vodka. Everyone likes a little Stoli.
That's often the way it is, I can remember back years ago, the only Vodka you could get here in the States was Smirnoff Vodka. Part of Seagram's I think. Then after the Cold War ended folks would come back from Eastern Europe, Finland, or Russia and tell us how good the Vodka was over there compared to Smirnoff. But a lot of those good small batch distillers products never make it here, just the large corporate products like Stolichnaya. So you think that's as good as it gets. Now Red Army Vodka, that sounds like it's worth a try.I can't even begin to tell you how terrible Stoli is once you've had real Russian vodka.

Yes, the factory is closed.USSR, I miss the Zil. I hear they are out of production and the factory is closed?![]()
Thanks for the ID's, NY Tom!Nice picture - first two ships in that list were originally German. The last is Russian built and the fastest sailing ship in the world.
Is that a true "ship" Ahab? Me, being a "ground pounder" don't know much about maritime definitions......=)Thanks for the ID's, NY Tom!
That "fastest" comment needs to be qualified:
- The Russian ship noted is likely the fastest barquentine-rigged sailing ship in the world
Because THE fastest sailing ship in the world has to be one of the new America-Class racing yachts, check these out:

Yeah, you got me on that one, marchplumber.Is that a true "ship" Ahab? Me, being a "ground pounder" don't know much about maritime definitions......=)
Yeah, you got me on that one, marchplumber.
I looked it up:
"2 or more full length decks above the waterline = a ship. Thats why submarines are called boats regardless of how huge they are - only 1 deck above the waterline. A boat becomes a ship, when it carries boats."
Sorry, USSR, for the drift.
Now, back to our regular programming!
