Title posts can be edited, I believe.
This is just stupid. While Russia is plagued with misery in its history (both self inflicted and of the outside source) it, like all of humanity, had contributed great, positive things in culture and technological progress.
Yeah, the post mentioned booze.
English literature: "I will die for honor!"
French literature: "I will die for love!"
American literature: "I will die for freedom!"
Russian literature: "I will die."
French die for Glory. L'Amour c'est fungible.
And the booze isn't even that good.
Stoli's fine.
Most vodka is "fine", the issue is that it's neutral and tasteless - which is certainly better than "rough and disgusting" like many bottom shelf spirits, but you don't have to settle for either of those in this day and age if you're not extremely poor. And if you can afford Stolichnaya, you can definitely afford something that tastes good.
Żubrówka is the best vodka imo.
I don't think flavored vodka counts! Might as well say "my favorite vodka is Tanqueray London Dry Gin".
Zubrowka Biala is actually my go-to vodka, though, it's great value and gets the job done when I'm making White Russians.
