Bormotukha (Russian бормотуха) and chernila (literally ink) were colloquial names for cheap flavored fortified wines, commonly named "port wine" or "vermouth", that were produced in the Soviet Union.[1][2][3] Examples of bormotukha were Agdam (named after a city in Azerbaijan)[4] Шаблон:Ill[5] and Шаблон:Ill (colloquially called "Three Axes").[2]

During Gorbachyov's anti-alcohol campaign, production of legal bormotukha brands stopped, and the corresponding brands didn't recover.[6]

In 2010 a Russian businessman tried to register the trademark "Solntsedar". The application was rejected with the rationale: "The applied designation reproduces the name of a cheap surrogate alcoholic drink, widespread in the USSR from the late 50s to the mid-80s, which received a household name as an image and sign of the era of stagnation, and therefore registration of this designation as a trademark will be contrary to public interests."[5]

In Belarus, Lukashenko declared production of beer to be an element of "national food security", because beer "pulls people away from driking bormotukha and hard liquors".[7]
