Ha ha! Yeah, that was just over one year ago! Actually Stolichnaya isn't really drunk in Russia. A vodka called "Sankt Petersborg" is the local brew - and is distilled with water from Lake Ladodga.
When it moves at any kind of speed it jolts around a lot, and the only thing to do is to cling on for dear life!
Fun for us - but the real tank riders were also coming under small arms fire, other tanks, anti-tank guns, and Panzerfausts so it must have been a complete nightmare for them.
