Russian Vodka-Can you read Russian?

Friends brought us a bottle of vodka from Moscow. The label is all in Russian . It appears to commerate the 850 annivesary of the founding of Moscow. There is an arch like structure painted on the front of the bottle and it frames a drawing of Russians spires that is painted on the back of the bottle. The name (as best I can type it on a US computer) is A-o-(the symbol for Pi)-r-o-p-y-k-n-n. There is a mark over the last n.Can you help me determine what it is? Thanks

Hi again It would appear to be (prince Jurij Vladimirovitj) Dol-gorukij. The russian D is ? which could be misread for an A. This prince was the founder of Moscow in 1152. hth Anders

I can't make any sense of the first three letters (English A, O and the Rusian "L", like JI joined), but the rest of it would be pronounced "Gorukii". The producer's name perhaps?

Sounds Like Youri Dolgoruki has a peppery finish, very nice
