I started drinking Stolychnaya back in the late 70's before Russian (then Soviet) vodkas were imported.
One advantage of working at USCG MSO Anchorage (Captain of the Port Western Alaska) and doing boardings on Communist Bloc vessels that made port calls.
The Russians always fed us dinner. The "water glass" - full of vodka.
We always returned the favor by bringing them American cigarettes...
