Stolichnaya vodka 1965

Description:


German language text advertisement on the bottom

Stolichnaya Vodka - Stoli has its origins in the Moscow State Wine Warehouse #1 which was opened in 1901 by the authorities to ensure higher quality vodka production.

Stolichnaya word simply means "capital city".

There is a wrong opinion that Stolichnaya Vodka means "Table Vodka", because of the word Stol it starts with. Stol means "table" in Russian. However, the word Stolitsa - "capital" in Russian comes from Sto - "a hundred" and Litsa - "faces". A city of hundred faces: the name comes from centuries ago, meaning a city populated with a lot of people.

Soviet government increased controls on alcohol in 1985. They attempted to impose a partial prohibition, which involved a massive anti-alcohol campaign, severe penalties against public drunkenness and alcohol consumption, and restrictions on sales of liquor. The campaign was temporarily successful in reducing per capita alcohol consumption and improving quality-of-life measures such as life expectancy and crime rates, but it was deeply unpopular among the population and it ultimately failed.
