Vodka is a true Russian drink created in Russia. This is how the British National Encyclopedia of 1929-1939 assessed it.
Russia is the birthplace of vodka, which, like no other popular alcoholic beverage in the world, has a unique and inimitable biography.
Information about it can be found in the Vyatka Chronicle of 1184, and the first printed mention of vodka dates back to the XV century, due to the introduction of a state monopoly in Russia, which indicates that it had already become a mass commercial product in the country at that time.
In 1505 the beginning of vodka export was registered, and in 1533 the first drinking establishment was opened in Moscow.Vodka has deep roots in Russian history. It has long been an integral part of the national folklore and cultural heritage.
