Characters in Plovdiv...

Godzilla and Kamenitza beer:

Alyosha - a Russian soldier on top of the Hill of the Liberators:

Milyu the Great Gossiper - an eavesdropper of the 1980s and 1990s:

Distillation:

This still produces holinka - clear spirit usually made from fermented plums:

The finished result - apparently the wooden ladder adds flavour?!

Or you can watch yourself falling off the ladder...the more you drink!
