In 1989 the Soviet Navy wanted some Pepsi. But they couldn’t pay with money. So they made a deal with Pepsi and bought a ton of drinks fir tge price of 17 submarines and a navy ship. Pepsi then sold the Submarines and ship to Norway as scrap.
The reason I put Zhukov’s name in the title is simple. Zhukov was a wwii Soviet General who loved Coca Cola but didn’t want his fellow Soviets (especially Stalin) to see him enjoying a symbol of capitalism. As a favour to him the Coca Cola company made special clear Coca Colas for him to make it look like he was drinking vodka.

1. Zhukov ain’t in Heaven.
2. Why would he be laughing? He dedicated his life to the USSR, and the above meme clearly shows the truth: that system was dogshit.

The Soviet Union basically being forced to disarm themselves all because they want some Pepsi.
Now that’s one crazy story that should be turned into a multi-million-dollar film.
