Trivia fact: what was Zhukov’s favorite beverage? (Other than vodka). It was Coca-Cola! The Coke company made a special clear version that came in nondescript bottles and was capped with a red star bottle cap, so as not to be seen drinking a decadent capitalist product.

LOL, reminds me of the exchange in "One, Two, Three"....

Peripetchikoff: No formula, NO DEAL!

C.R. MacNamara: OK, NO DEAL!

Borodenko: We do not need you! If we want Coca-cola, we invent it ourselves!

C.R. MacNamara: Oh, yeah? In 1956 you flew a bottle of Coke to a secret laboratory in Sverdlosk. A dozen of your top chemists went nuts trying to analyze the ingredients. Right?

Mishkin: No comment!

C.R. MacNamara: And in 1958, you planted two undercover agents in Atlanta to steal the formula. And what happened? They both defected! And now they're successful businessmen in Florida packaging instant borscht. Right?

Peripetchikoff: No comment!

C.R. MacNamara: Last year you put out a cockamamie imitation "Kremlin-Kola!" You tried it out in the satellite countries, but even the Albanians wouldn't drink it. They used it for SHEEP DIP! RIGHT?

Mishkin: No comment!

C.R. MacNamara: So either get down to business or get off the pot!
