Putinka

Putinka (Russian: Путинка) is a brand of Russian vodka made by the Moscow Distillery Crystal company. Created in 2003 by Vinexem Brand Manager Stanislav Kaufman, the brand plays upon President Vladimir Putin's name.

The brand is owned by businessman Arkady Rotenberg, a close confidant of Putin, though Putin has no formal involvement in the production of Putinka. Putinka was formerly one of the most popular vodka brands in the Russian market, though the brand's popularity began to decline in 2016.
