No need to be a dick, I was genuinely interested in your opinion and trying to be helpful. But if you want to go down that road it is worth pointing out that you did not update it just for me; you updated it for anyone accustomed to well formed english sentences.

Sorry, got upset as I usually get when I hear "Russians did something we do not fully understand. Simple: vodka must be involved!".

Zhukov couldn't drink Coke when others drink vodka. For one thing, vodka is not consumed from individual bottles; the same bottle is shared. Second, it is considered impolite to drink and do not offer it to the guest.

Zhukov may have had an idea of introducing Coke as a popular drink, but Stalin wouldn't allow it. Stalin knew that colour is not important; essence (and origin) is.

It seems you havent really read the wikipedia article which clearly states "Zhukov liked it and asked for its color to resemble vodka so that he would not be seen drinking Coca-Cola in public"

Thats the only reason why i brought ip up..okay the Wikipedia entry might be inaccurate, but am i to judge that ?
