Russians in fight over 'stolen' Stoli

A LEGAL custody battle over the marquee Russian vodka, Stolichnaya, has been put on ice for another three months pending settlement talks between the Russian Government and a multi-millionaire Russian tycoon who has fled to Switzerland. The Russian Government is taking on Spirits International, the company it believes stole the rights to the vodka, as part of its attempt to reclaim worldwide ownership of the trademark.
