It was also how they knew that the Russians had bugged their accomodation and were listening in.

It crops up in policy. Their fear of the east and China having been invaded from there and then eventually crushing that threat. And then the constant struggles in the west against the Poles, Lithuanians, Germans and Swedes ? And disposing of them too so to speak. This belief that Russia is the mother of all the Slavs, the head of all Orthodoxy is still strong as is a wariness of the West. The language is a branch of Slavonic, much of the culture is rooted in familiar European idioms (to which Russia has contributed enormously) so to all intents and purposes it is European. Just a little sample of the enormous cultural richness of Russia and that beautiful, stirring anthem (I am able to recite word for word now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLjSu9U1lEU |

I think you'd like some of the vodka varieties. You tried pepper vodka? |

Love Vodka btw. It's clean, easy on the gut and goes well with a lot of mixes if anyone chooses to do so. Oh yes one more thing. I've heard that Vodka originated in Poland? Is that true? Frankly, I don't care. If it agrees w/ me, that's important. But would love to know what the "natives" drink. Thanks! Last edited by turat; August 21st, 2015 at 11:22 PM.. |

Anyway, check this out. I haven't tried it, but Absolut is a good Swedish brand, and I'll look for a bottle of their pepper vodka http://www.absolut.com/en/products/absolut-peppar/ No idea who invented vodka. My unscientific instinct tells me it originates from Belarus/Ukraine/Western Russia/Poland long before those states existed, and they all thieved and raped recipes from each other Another vodka I have a taste for is Koskenkorva. It has a distinct rye flavor, and is made in Finland. No bottle of this lasts longer than 3 days in my home. Unless it's a 3 liter bottle, which might last 7-10 days |

There is a restaurant in Kensington called Wodka that sells a whole variety of flavoured vodkas. My favourite is the Strawberry flavour. The food's not bad either.
The best use for vodka though is in Bloody Marys. One of the best drinks known to man, and indeed woman. |
