Order Of Friendship.
"Putin awards medal to man who brought Pepsi to Soviet Union
Associated Press Jun. 21, 2004 12:15 PM MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin on Monday gave a medal to retired Pepsico chief Donald Kendall, who made Pepsi-Cola the first American consumer product to be manufactured in the Soviet Union. "We consider you a great friend of our country, a man who well knows the culture of Russia and loves it," Putin said at a ceremony presenting Kendall with the Order of Friendship medal, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency. The 1972 agreement to manufacture Pepsi in the Soviet Union, worked out when Kendall, now 83, was at the company's helm, was seen as a breakthrough in U.S.-Soviet commercial relations." :p |
