To understand the importance of the iconic Russian brand in this narrative, you have to look at its relationship with another brand, this one American. In 1972, the PepsiCo Company signed an agreement with the USSR (nowadays most of Russia) to become the first Western products sold in the country. As the Soviet ruble (the USSR currency) was effectively impossible to exchange on the market, Pepsi proposed a trade: soda for Stolichnaya. It thus became the exclusive distributor of the typical Russian spirit in the United States.
