![Grace Neutral Explores Korea's Illegal Beauty Scene [FULL FILM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JYfJfCeQ8As/mqdefault.jpg)
The world's first written mention of the drink and of the word "vodka" was in 1405 from Akta Grodzkie recorder of deeds, in the court documents from the Palatinate of Sandomierz in Poland.
11th century Russia the word Vodka appears. Poland doesn't have anything to be proud of, so they try to say they invented Vodka. Pathetic.
@@levvy3006 Also, change your profile picture
@@levvy3006 Poland had elected Kings. Poland invented Vodka. Poland had the first 100% equal parliament, Poland was the most liberal nation-state in Europe between 1100-1699 with 45% Catholic and the rest mix of Protestant, Calvinism, Othrodox and Islam. Poland had an aristocracy that regularly disobeyed the establishment of Europe. Poland had the largest civil uprising in history (Warsaw Uprising against Waffen SS). Poland fought over 80 key battles in Europe, one of which prevented Muslims from taking over the whole of Europe all the way from Hungary to France (Grunwald). Romania/Balkan states were under Ottomans. Russia's royal family was from the British whilst the people are a mix of Asian and European bloodlines and, Mongol. Poland had the best chess players and mathematicians and Logicians. Bletchley park et al. Poland has a very modern society with extremely high education rates (>60% have 2 degrees). Poland is soon a G20 nation and has not a single terrorist nation. Poland along with HU, RO, CZ, SK and others in Viszegrad has resisted "asylum migration" and because of it, has not suffered a single terrorist incident. Don't be an abusive angry communist. I have no quarrel with the Russians, they are a great people but your rudeness and ignorance can be felt. I speak Russian, Polish and another 5 languages so I would consider myself a European Citizen. I am a proud proponent of the EU and further ties with EU-Sov. nations. EU is an International Organisation with supranational traits but it is still an IO with inter-governental bodies (Council of Ministers) NOT EU Council. The EU civil service is the EU Commission.
Polski vodka smells like cat piss!!!
@@levvy3006 Poland has many things to be proud of.
when they say good luck when u step of the plane... u know ur fucked

Welcome to Russia, no turning back now...
Thank you for this really interesting film! I teach Polish at the University of Florida and I show this to my classes as part of the culture unit.
One thing I'm surprised by is no one mentioning the fact that the word "wódka" is a diminutive form of "woda," which means "water." So really, vodka just means "cute-little-water." It's very similar to "whiskey" being the Celtic word for "water of life."
damn i had no idea they teach polish in murica
ostensibly correct 👍
"Yes, alright, Russian vodka is ok if you need to clean the oven. For drinking, it must henceforth be Polish." - Hugh Laurie
-_\ typical Polish
The reason why vodka is spelled with a w in Poland is because in the Polish alphabet there is no V. W makes the same sound at V. Its spelled with a V in English because of the sound the letter W makes in English. It would sound like (Watka)
+Ok G It's Voodka (Wódka), like in "good". Gee, get your shit together. From now on you can order it properly, at the same time giving Putin a middle finger:)
@@lukarosen9116 TAK
"Welcome to Moscow. Thank you, goodbye, and good luck." What a greeting.... o_o
Russian vodka is good, but polish wódka is the best. PERIOD!
+Kunigdąbsław Mgdolwicz But nothing beats good old peat smoked Islay Scotch
+Jessi M I don't know.
+Kunigdąbsław Mgdolwicz No to .. Na zdrowie
+Commissar Nikolay Don't tell me what to do twit
Lithuanian Vodka ftw!
The first written record of vodka in Poland dates from 1405 in the Sandomierz Court Registry. In Russia, the first written usage of the word vodka in an official document in its modern meaning is dated by the decree of Empress Catherine I of June 8, 1751 that regulated the ownership of vodka distilleries. Which shows that traditions of making Wódka in Poland proceed Russia by over 300 years. Russia only standarised it. but Poland, invented it.
Nowik1991 I am from sandomierz, and I never knew about that
@@MattyBerke now you know
@stn bboy no it was for medicine not perfumes
@@ejmeetsejikThey don’t.
@@ejmeetsejik source?
I'm Polish myself and I say: Yes-we invented Wódka,however does it really matter?. All I know is that the best vodkas come from eastern Europe. I had Polish vodka,Belarusian vodka, Ukrainian vodkas etc along with the other leading brands and sorry,but all the western crap can't compare/compete with them. And even though that there's been sparks and rows between Poland and Russia for centuries somehow we can still sit together and drink vodka with Russians just like that. Weird,isn't it? :)
You are right, western vodkas are shit xD

Does the author know, that taxi driver is an azerbaijani national bearly speaking russian. He is insulting him in azerbaijani language. :))
What did he call him?
how did he insult him?
He didn't insult him, he just told him "fucker, you're giving me a headache" in a friendly manner
im learning polish and it seems to me W makes the V sound
No lol
@@voyag3r319 It does. Don't lie.

"Lady's and gentlemen welcome to Moscow, thank you, goodbye, good luck." LMFAO
Obviously vodka is Polish invention, from the times when Russia didn't even exist all that much. The problem is that Russia has been simply far more relevant during the last 100 or so years, so clearly most people assumed that it must be Russian.
Poland is older than Russia, is no evidence that vodka was invented in Poland.
It's just unknown .
WÓDKA JEST NASZA
Нет она наша
@@ZWOdontdodrugsandkeepit100 haha in your dreams

@@ZWOdontdodrugsandkeepit100 dumb
@@ZWOdontdodrugsandkeepit100 no
In Poland its spelled "Wódka" and "w" is spelled as "V" and "ó" is close to "o". That is why all foreign say "vodka" its just the way you would think its spelled after you would hear "wódka" sample as that.
A buddy of mine went to Moscow for business back in 2001. Upon arrival to the hotel, he checked into his room then headed to the hotel bar about 5pm where the wait staff gave him free shots of Vodka. One beautiful waitress kept bringing him free double shots. He woke up in an unknown room in that hotel a day and half later!! Naked with all his cash and credit cards gone! Luckily his room was not tampered with, his work equipment, clothes and back up money were safe in his room. He didn't drink at all during the next 2 weeks stay.
Must be nice to have all the free double drinks then wake up in a room. You humble bragging is not so humble. No one ever drugs me
Wodka or vodka is Polish. Period.
its indonesian. period
@@miorfaizulsabki6667You have period. Period.
.
What a fantastic documentary! It manages to be emotive, historic, political and entertaining. Ivar and crew did an amazing job and I hope to see him again soon.
Having mr. Stalin and mr. Lenin greet you in Moscow is like having mr. Hitler greet you in Berlin
the "vodka wars", that must have been some hilarious fighting :p
if anyone's ever bought a bottle of Grey Goose, you know its distilled in France...and personally Grey Goose is one of my favorite liquors ever.
Poland has the best vodka!
Wódka to Polski napój!!! Ale czy my.. Polacy powinnismy być tacy dumni z tego powodu? Haha! Brawo dla Polski! Prawdziwa Wódka tylko pochodzi z Polski.. Żadna nie jest lepsza od Chopin z ziemniaków..
Devilz DandruFF A czemu nie ? Tak jak Francuzi są dumni ze swoich win to czemu my nie możemy być dumni z wódki. Pewnie Ci się tylko kojarzy z czerwono-mordymi żulami pod sklepem lub innymi niemiłymi doświadczeniami. Pić trzeba umieć, wódka nie jest dla wszystkich. Pozdrawiam.
Polish vodka, ANY Polish vodka is the best in the world. Bars in NYC, the high end bars, only use top shelf Polish vodkas, Belvedere, Chopin, etc.... Russian vodka tastes like synthetic piss. PS - Vodka was invented in Poland.
Have u tasted a lot of russian vodkas, expert ?
Greo999
Yes.
*****
LOL
My fav is Dworek.
Sobieski, the best vodka I know.
best doc ever, thanks
I have got an idea how to solve this! Polish and Russians better start warming up. We will solve this war by which country can drink for the longer without passing out. I think it's the best way to solve this peacefully and for what's most important - with fun by doing what 99% of Poles and Russians love :)
@@polishherowitoldpilecki5521 We have some of the best Alcoholics in Poland, we will take on the Russians any day! and also have a great time doing it cause Poles and Russians shitfaced together is either gonna end in an amazing night or a fight xD

Lmao the cab driver is more drunk than I've been in 12 years!!!
driver : "я понял!"
reporter: " no, not porno!" XD
Blyat
For some reason he talks with such peace, but means everything he says he brings so much more reality to vice! liked it
I thot that Bald and Bankrupt invented vodka 😀
I really do miss the old vice news
LOL that first old lady rambling was HILARIOUS
I actually really enjoy the taste and nuance of different vodkas, it's my favorite drink in all honesty, I don't even mix it.
This was the most interesting/entertaining work I've seen in a while. To take something as trivial like vodka and go into its darker past/present was fantastic. Great job. My only critic is that it could've been longer. Fuck it, you could made it a feature length doc.
4:42 "Thank you, goodbye and good luck."?!?!?! Whats goin on here, sounds like some Hostel action straight from the start. EXCELLENT Documentary yet again Vice. Give this guy a raise, or more documentaries to attend, thanks
This was so good, I watched it twice.
I really fail to understand what you guys want, this channel is perfect as it is, if you want to watch something else... watch something else.
simple lol
Polish vodka is the best
9:17 That guys English is amazing.
Good question about the year. Also, the newspaper he holds up on the plane is for the 2008 election with McCain.
Italians invented Eurobeat and the AE86 was a Giugiaro design ripoff.
Cheers from Poland.
Finally a relevant topic about a very important subject for all.
It was Poland. theres your answer
That Doctor is a great man! Respect!
So my suggestion is that German for beer that is an icon of US alcohol drinks and Polish for vodka that is an icon of Russian drinks.
13:44
Because W in polish is the english sound of V...
Great documentary!
I didn't know Vice had Scandinavian office, totally want to work there!
If you told me to create a over the top stereotypical Russian cab driver I could not have come up with someone as cool as that guy 😂😂
It doesnt matter who invented it its who perfected it
+Karim Hazimé You're probably thinking of "Akvavit" -- a name that derives from the latin "Aqua vitae" (water of vitality) -- which is a flavored vodka popular in Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia.
I love how she says good luck before you get off the plane lol
The first three minutes of this video are fucking insane
love this kind of stuff, this is why I don't have cable anymore. thanks
Got to love this old Vice material
Well said, Sir!
This was one of the best vice documentaries, Ivar needs to be in the field not some broom closet or where ever you have him stashed
fantastic doc.
great documentary, i had no idea there was a struggle for the origins of vodka
Subscribed to VICE
just say its a Polish-Russian drink and although i'm half Polish they both produce good vodka
Whatever vodka the taxi driver is drinking is probably the best
How could you not know Poland invented Vodka...Wodka
im a russian tank driver i need my vodka lol
They replaying the same song for the whole video😭🙏
Russian Airplane Attendant: Welcome to Russia, Good luck
I LOVE VICE DOCUMENTARIES
Ivar thanks 4 this doc.
I like this guy. First time I've seen him (granted i'm going through the backlog oldest to newest) but hopefully there is more of his stuff coming up.
POLSKA WODKA NA lEPSZA
Wish I hadn't seen this on vice already
You could make an entire documentary interviewing Oleg. Please do so if possible.
This, a thousand times this.
that lady at the at the start of the video... awesome.
That depends where you come from, it's Sovjet in Sweden.
I like this guy! send him to do more documentaries, lot better than those hippies
Vodka is made everywhere and various countries claim having made it first.
The main 'battle' is between Poland and Russia.
Stolichnya was Russian, but now it's made in Latvia.
more documentaries with this guy
I'm a Pole. Vodka was actually invented by the Arabs. The word alcohol comes from Arabic 'al-kuhl'. And actually it doesn't matter who done it- kudos to him. Vodka is great (especially with pickles, pickled herring, caviar or bigos... or anything with an edge really) Поляки и Pусские братья!
The drink itself was made by the arabs between the 7th-9th century. The term vodka was mentioned in sources as early as 1405 in Poland.
We're talking about vodka not alcohol in general LOL. Arabs maybe invented alcohol but not vodka.
Simple alcohol where invented by Arabs/Persians but Vodka was invented in Poland
that guys laugh.... just gets me every fucking time
LOVE it!! UV caramel or raspberry is my favorite vodka!!!
Sweden invaded Poland around 500 years ago - that's why the Scandinavians have Wódka - and the Poles eat pickled herring.
OMG the cab driver is hilarious! And he obviously knows his vodka :P
I remember watching this a long time ago, why was it reposted?!
I like the fact that the flight attentant is saying "welcome to russia and good luck" guess you need some luck :P
This guy is great.
best documentary!!!!!!!!!! VODKAAAAAAAAAA
The name of the club track at like 1:40 is
Kap10Kurt - Danger Seekers (Rolf Honey Remix)
Not the original, the original blows and is the only version on youtube. You will have to google the rolf honey remix. I have brought closure to everyone asking the track name since 2008 lol.
Damb; see the Liddel vs Evans poster at 2:53? That was awhile back. This took some time.
Actually a potato vodka was made by the Vikings but wasn't called vodka. They found bottles of alcohol in a sunken Viking ship and it tested almost equivalent to today's potato vodka and FYI whiskey would be clear too if it want aged in barrels so I think the argument is mute
So true. When i was in Poland like 5-6 years we mostly drank Bols Vodka made in Holland. Polish vodka is just too pricy even in Poland so Bols was the cheapest and it was actually somewhat good for the price, around 18 PZL or $7
I like vodka because I can numb my problems and drink less. Wine you actually have to put a little work in if you don't enjoy it(I don't).
Spoke to a russian about the apparent "unclear" origins of the word wodka? Clearly polish coming from the word "woda" which means water", spoken to any polak in poland they would have told you in three seconds
Great doc. The host was cool, I'd like to see Vice use him more.
sounds like more wine for you, so I dunno what you're WINE-ing about. Ah-ha ah-ha!
Veredict!!!!
Poland invented the vodka!!
Bra jobbat Ivar!
That Lenin impersonator probably gave him sound advice for a tourist.
1:16 lmao at you interaction ,, thats the kind of taxi driver i always dreamed off
