A friend of mine collects shot glasses, from various parts of the world. Been trying to find some that are distintively Ukrainian/Russian, but so far, I've only seen plain ones? Anyone ever seen any with any distinctive designs?

Yes I saw many in Sochi at restaurants. I wanted to swipe one from our table but was purswaded(?) not to. I also saw many in shops in Sochi. They were easy to find. I didn't see any in Moldova, Ukraine, or Bulgaria though.

You should visit special souvenir markets.

Some of the vodka companies do sets, a bottle of vodka and 3 shot glasses, Nerminoff for example do one ike that with nice glasses.

Mine, a gift from my FMIL, have the national emblem on them as well as "russia forever" in cyrillic.

The thought had crossed my mind, too, in Zapororozhye. But it would be too obvious as I was the only one in the bar at the time.

At my apartment in Sumy, I had thought of swapping one for ones that I had brought with me. There were six of them......all were plain, except for one that said.........CALIFORNIA on it!!

At the stores and flea markets, all I saw were either plain ones, or ones with deer and bears, and not distinctly Ukrainian(no lettering).

The only one distinctly Ukrainian, that I saw, was one for Hortytsyia vodka at this one bar in Zaporozhye.
