. . .and it's a waste of money and good liquor.

Only about 1.2% of all vodka imported into the US is Russian-manufactured.

Genuine Russian-made vodkas include the brands:

Russian Standard Beluga Noble Russian Vodka
Beluga Noble Russian Gold Vodka Z
Zyr Russian Vodka

What about the most famous Russian-sounding brand, Stoli (short for Stolichnaya)?

The Stoli® vodka brands and its owner Yuri Shefler were exiled from Russia nearly two decades ago. “As the Founder of SPI Group of companies, I have personally experienced persecution by the Russian authorities and I share the pain of Ukraine and its people,” noted Mr. Shefler.

Stoli is now “manufactured and bottled in Riga, Latvia,” according to the company’s statement, and the company has operations “in Ukraine and across many of the bordering countries,” not Russia.

Stolichnaya is made in Latvia and several other NATO countries and publicly denounces Putin's war and Putin himself. Putin is a big reason why they left Russia and moved their headquarters to Luxembourg.
