the
name Stolichnaya was replaced by Slotichnaya
A Shot of
Stolichnaya in Stranger Things
The Russian
spirit’s presence happens when Nancy and Jonathan arrive at the house of Murray
Bauman, a reporter investigator, to ask for help exposing the government
conspiracy that killed their friend Barb. They have proof in the form of a
taped confession, and want Bauman’s help in getting the story out. It’s then
that Bauman pulls out a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka, with its signature
red-and-white label, and prepares a drink.
In the scene
the name Stolichnaya was replaced by
Slotichnaya with a slightly change
in the T and L.
To
understand the importance of the iconic Russian brand in this narrative, you
have to look at its relationship with another brand, this one American. In
1972, the PepsiCo Company signed an agreement with the USSR (nowadays most of
Russia) to become the first Western products sold in the country. As the Soviet
ruble (the USSR currency) was effectively impossible to exchange on the market,
Pepsi proposed a trade: soda for Stolichnaya. It thus became the exclusive
distributor of the typical Russian spirit in the United States.
