Kirovskii raion, Leningrad, 1977

At this time, most Russians did not seem to prioritize beer drinking much. For one thing, the beer on offer was (let's say) "an acquired taste" - that is, most would say it didn't taste good. The number of such kiosks selling beer, where they would fill a container for you or give you a mug to drink on the spot (then return the mug) was very small. Still we can see this one had some customers.
