This was the standard Soviet vodka. Cheap, available, and intoxicating. Analyzing it as if it were a fine wine misses the point. When inebriation was necessary in the Soviet Union, chances are this is what did it.

A friend brought a bottle of this from Russia for me. It is the smoothest alcohol I've ever had. It is like Vodka flavored water (no burn at all). I wish I could find it in the U.S.

Agree with other posters. Had this at a Russian party in 1980's. We brought Stoly Krystal which we thought was the bomb. A kid from Russian brought this battered old bottle of Pshenichnaya that looked like it had been recycled 5 times. Scratched, malformed, industrial. Compared it to the Stoly. O.M.G. It made Stoly taste like rubbing alchohol. It was literally like drinking slightly vodka-flavored water; so amazingly smooth! The stuff you get exported to USA is nothing like it.
