In July 2025, information that descendants of the President of the USSR earn on an alcoholic drink, named after the President of Ukraine, were extended on social networks. We checked the reliability of such publications.
July 8 in the social network X became a viral fast, whose author wrote: “Photo: granddaughters of M. Gorbacheva Ksenia and Anastasia. Live in Germany. Since 2022, they produce and sell Zelensky vodka. Vodka with this name in Germany is even bought by nonsense. They send a large percentage of revenue to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ” The publication was accompanied by a photograph of two women and at the time of writing this analysis gained 137,000 views and more than 400 reposts. Similar posts also appeared on Facebook (1, 2, 3, 4).
The photograph used in viral posts was Made Back in 2011, on charitable concert In honor of the 80th anniversary of Mikhail Gorbachev. It really captures the granddaughter of the Soviet leader Ksenia Gorbacheva and Anastasia Virgan.
About Vodka "Zelensky" back in December 2022 They wrote Prochremple Telegram channels. Although some From them they claimed that it was issued by the office of the President of Ukraine, in fact, the Vodka4peace charity project was launched under such a brand. He was established by Ukrainian Anastasia Rosinin and the Swiss Tobias Reichmut and Georgia von Glohyen shortly after the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion. All income from the sale of vodka was planned to be transferred to the support of Ukraine. “We created the company in just eight days and have already donated almost £ 30,000 to a children's hospital in Kyiv and NPOs, which supports poor Ukrainians with children,” told von Glohyen in April 2022. Charity vodka was sold both on the project website and in alcohol stores in Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. Project Planned sell a million bottles per year, but now it website does not work, pages in X And Facebook Not updated since the summer of 2022, but in most European online stores where Vodka Zelensky was presented, it is no longer available.
“Verified” did not find in open sources of mentions that Ksenia Gorbacheva or Anastasia Virgan participated in the creation and activities of Vodka4peace. Apparently, the source for those who appeared in July 2025, apparently, was published back in February article publications Life.ru. It stated that Gorbachev’s granddaughters have been living in Germany since the 2010s, Virgan is listed as the managing director of two companies related to cargo transportation, and Gorbachev is led by the Vinigrandi collection wines store in Berlin. “After the start of his social network of the store, Ksenia Gorbacheva, not just noted by several anti -war posts. Vinigrandi's management reported on the organization of the sale of vodka with a yellow-claw label called Zelensky-from the signature to the publication, one can understand that the money was planned to be transferred to Ukraine, ”wrote Life.ru. However, the fact that Gorbachev could be related to the production of this vodka, the tabloid did not report anything.
Vinigrandi GmbH was registered In 2016, initially Ksenia Gorbacheva managed her along with her stepfather Andrei Trukhachev. In 2022, Trukhachev left the project, his place I took it Filippo Maria Guidotti (by assumption Life.ru, husband Gorbacheva). At the time of writing the analysis of strong alcoholic beverages in the assortment on the website Vinigrandi vodka Not in principle, however, judging by the profile of the store on Instagram, in April 2022, Vodka Zelensky is actually there Sold. Product was In stock and in the online store, now the corresponding page is not available.
Thus, Gorbachev’s granddaughters have nothing to do with the production of Zelensky vodka, although one of them sold such a drink in her store in the spring of 2022. Contrary to viral posts, the profit from the implementation of this vodka went to charity goals, and not to the aid of the Ukrainian army.
