Slava Ukraini should be on vodka bottles. Maybe it will be one day, products of the Greater Polish Commonwealth.

They can make slight flavor variations in distilleries located in both Poland and Western Ukraine. (formerly known as Ukraine after some bits went missing)

Quite a markdown, also that is the type of price you would see in rubles for Vodka in Moscow…

Admittedly, it is hard to say what is and isn’t expensive in Ukraine at this point but a 750 ml mid shelf bottle of Vodka shouldn’t be going to nearly that much even on sale.

It's like nine bucks us, but it's expensive for Ukraine especially if you're out of work what with the war going on.

I would say it is really high for Ukraine even if it is promotional. I mean the minimum wage is around 1.25 an hour.

Russia produces liquid nitrogen and hydraulic fluid for so many industrial uses that imo it's not about if they state can produce it or source it, but how much is making it through to the military and I agree who the gently caress knows? In the Soviet system, artillery brigades had their own gas generators and everything at that level so as long as they were getting the industrial inputs, liquid nitrogen and oil, it was not a problem. Gaskets, seals and the rest were also produced in large quantities. Obviously things have fallen off since then.

This was something I had not picked up on, but someone wrote a book specifically about this The Plunder: The 1898 Anti-Jewish Riots in Habsburg Galicia

In the spring of 1898, thousands of peasants and townspeople in western Galicia rioted against their Jewish neighbors. Attacks took place in more than 400 communities in this northeastern province of the Habsburg Monarchy, in present-day Poland and Ukraine. Jewish-owned homes and businesses were ransacked and looted, and Jews were assaulted, threatened, and humiliated, though not killed. Emperor Franz Joseph signed off on a state of emergency in thirty-three counties and declared martial law in two. Over five thousand individuals―peasants, day-laborers, city council members, teachers, shopkeepers―were charged with myriad offenses.

Seeking to make sense of this violence and its aftermath, The Plunder examines the circulation of antisemitic ideas within Galicia against the political backdrop of the Habsburg state. Daniel Unowsky sees the 1898 anti-Jewish riots as evidence not of Galician backwardness and barbarity, but of a late nineteenth-century Europe reeling from economic, cultural, and political transformations wrought by mass politics, literacy, industrialization, capitalist agriculture, and government expansion. Through its nuanced analysis of the riots as a form of "exclusionary violence," this book offers new insights into the upsurge of the antisemitism that accompanied the emergence of mass politics in Europe at the turn of the twentieth century.

https://www.amazon.ca/Plunder-Anti-Jewish-Riots-Habsburg-Galicia/dp/0804799822

That seems to line up really closely with what you were saying. Its on libgen so probably worth a skim.

Linking these books together as it gets closer to 1941, you can really see the wheels turning because as early as 1891 they were conceiving of violence against Jews as self-defence, nearly identical to Judeo-Bolshevism and Double Genocide theory. Also, what was spoken Polish and what was "Ukrainian" was determined by religious affiliation, which is a weird thing to wrap your head around. In writing obviously the alphabets were clear differentiators. Anyways, going from there to violence against Jews, Poles and Russians makes sense as it's an identity idk based in resentment always defining itself in terms of grudges against an Other.

It was cheap in both countries, the average price for Vodka (.5l) in Ukraine in 2021 was 93 Hryvnia or around $3.72 this is I would say pretty comparable to Russia, moderately cheaper.

Logistics support for units of WMD in within the special military operations

🪖 Logistics units are busy around the clock. The field life may seem harsh, because there are no frills in it. However, Russian servicemen are fully supplied with everything they need.

🚿🧽 In the recreation areas there are showers and baths.

🍞 The bakery tents have mobile workshops that bake bread in the field. 'Homemade' bread, baked by masters of their craft, is fresh, puffy and ruddy.

✅ The main task of the logistics units is uninterrupted supplies. When servicemen have everything they need, nothing distracts them from their main tasks. And that is the most important thing right now.

I knew we'd get along if we ended up in a bar somewhere, before getting too sloshed to remember and wandering off in different directions.

Incidentally I recently came across Old Monk rum from India and it's pretty great. No idea if strictly competitive with whatever you have locally because good rums are all quite competitive but it makes an nice end of year rum punch.
