Vodka bottle label - anyone have an old Russian / Soviet one? Or image?

[Max Replica]

Not movie specific, but I'd like to find a good quality image or scan of a soviet-era vodka bottle label in order to recreate a vintage bottle.

I'm not looking for an export bottle like you might have found outside of the USSR, but the kind they'd drink behind the iron-curtain. All I've found online is stuff with english writing on it that they used for export. Then again, maybe even the domestic stuff had some English writing on it, I don't know.

Doesn't need to look pretty - just real, vintage, and Russian.

Heck, even a bad quality image of a particular brand or name might help me narrow down my searches. Thanks!

Thanks!
That WW2 one is interesting. And simple enough that someone more talented than me could probably do a good recreation if they just had similar fonts.

I love the ones on the vodka museum site, it's too bad they're overlapped and not very high resolution. Unless I missed the ones you're talking about. The ones I mean are here:

The seeklogo site is interesting, but I couldn't tell if any of those logos are soviet-era or not.

And I saw that same one on eBay but I wasn't sure if it was an export-type bottle because of the English on it.

Thanks again for your help! Maybe some more people will find some too.

Those are the ones I meant on the museum site.
You can also do searches for specific brands that may yield more images.

Use Vintage in your search line.

Thanks! I decided to try and go with Moskovskaya Vodka since it's pretty well known and has apparently been around since the 19th Century. I've found a few okay images of some vintage labels and now I'm going to try to find one suitable for printing.

Maybe I can use one of the higher res new label images and just alter it to look like vintage (and to look like the domestic version with no English on it).

EDIT - I just remembered that my local Trader Joe's sells the Moskovskaya vodka cheap. I could get a bottle, scan the label in and alter it.

Then again, since Moskovskaya is so common and the old label only has subtle differences, maybe it's not worth the trouble. Maybe I need to spend more time looking for a hi-res label of something a bit more obscure and Soviet looking. Hmm.

Those are so cool! Those are exactly what I was looking for. And three years later, someone was able to fulfill my request. Gotta love the RPF.
Thanks!
