With a name like Russia Day, it's hard to believe it was only started in 1992. It came about because the people wanted to make a statement of solidarity toward market reform and statehood over the communist party. The russian people had been losing faith in the Politburo since the 80's and frankly had just had enough. They got a new president, redesigned the flag, changed their name and threw a great big party. And while many many things have changed in their country over the last 2 decades, their ability to make a mean vodka has not wavered.
This week, it's to Russia with love.
