| 9 |  What did Soviet leaders drink?
When it came to formal occasions, Stalin was capable of consuming significant amounts of alcohol. Once, he spent a whole evening drinking cognac with Winston Churchill. When the meeting came to an end, Churchill left the room, supported under the arms. According to the memories of Marshal Golovanov, after this feast Stalin told him: "Do not worry, I will not drink Russia away," and left the room with a firm, unhurried gait.
Unlike Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev could lose a drinking contest. When drinking with Finnish President Urho Kekkonen, he ordered ‘Stolichnaya’ vodka to be served in champagne flutes instead of shot glasses. At the end of the dinner, Khrushchev could barely leave the room, while Kekkonen still did a final flute of vodka "for the road."

| 16 | Recipe for hiking: Plov with fruit and nuts
When you hike in the wild with a tent and a backpack, food becomes as important as good shoes and a reliable raincoat. After hiking difficult trails through the forest, a fruity and nutty helping of plov is a real feast.
Ingredients for 10 servings of plov:
3 liters of water, 900 grams of steamed rice (make sure it’s firm so it won’t get mushy), 100 grams of walnuts, 100 grams of hazelnuts, 200 grams of candied fruit (such as papaya, pear and banana), 150 grams of white raisins, 200 grams of sunflower oil, 10 grams of salt and 50 grams of sugar.
Preparation:
Pour sunflower oil in a pot, remove it from the fire and add the fruit and nut mixture. Mix well until the oil cools down. The nuts should fry a little and the fruit should become covered in a caramel crust. Put the prepared mixture in a separate bowl and leave the oil in the pot. Pour the steamed rice in, add water and leave it on the fire. Wait until the rice starts to boil and then simmer for 20 minutes.
Add salt and sugar when the rice has cooked a bit. After the water evaporates and rice floats to the top, remove the pot from the heat, cover and wrap in a sleeping bag to steam for 40 minutes. After that add raisins, nuts and candied fruit to the rice, mix well, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and serve to your fellow campers.
