6000 bottles

in #travel6 years ago


Sorting the photo on the laptop came across a folder with photos taken in 2015 in a private museum of Russian vodka. There is this amazing place not far from Samara in the village of Nikolaevka. The museum was organized by Vasily Alexeyevich Ogoltsov - a man who does not drink much, but is keen on collecting glass containers from alcoholic beverages.

There is in the museum and a monument to Russian vodka, erected by an enthusiast from improvised materials. The monument is a concrete pedestal and on it a green bottle of sheet iron with a height of about four meters. It is said that there is a three-liter bottle on a metal bottle, but a glass bottle with a vodka

The owner of the museum is not limited to glassware, his museum can find all sorts of items from Soviet times, as well as more modern ones.

A hobby began in 1961, with the collection of vodka labels. And the first glass bottle that took its place on the shelf was a bottle of Bulgarian wine in the shape of a ship. Now in the collection there are more than 6000 bottles, and about five hundred of them are whole.

To replenish the museum exposition, Vasily Alekseevich is helped by his classmates, friends and colleagues. After visiting other cities and countries, they bring him a bottle of local vodka as a gift.

There is a huge collection of Vasily and dolls


Unfortunately, last year Vasily did not become. Who is now following the museum is unknown ...
