Putinka (Russian: Путинка) is a brand of Russian vodka made by the state-owned Moscow Distillery Crystal company. Created in 2003 by Vinexem Brand Manager Stanislav Kaufman,[1] the brand plays upon President Vladimir Putin's name.[2]
The brand is owned by businessman Arkady Rotenberg, a close confidant of Putin, though Putin has no formal involvement in the production of Putinka.[3] Putinka was formerly one of the most popular vodka brands in the Russian market, though the brand's popularity began to decline in 2016.[4]
