Ukrainian politician Stepan Gavrish made a bet with another politician for a train car of cognac. The bet was over whether the people would vote in favor of change and reform this election round, and Stepan apparently won. I’m not sure how authentic this website is, because this guy was Yanukovich’s representative to the Central Election Commission and betting against him would be a no-no.

“If I do not get my cognac, everyone will know this person’s name. If I succeed, I will be ready to share the prize with journalists,” the deputy said.

But if it’s true, I suppose I can’t refuse free drinks. Well, unless it has dioxins in it.
