   During the 1960s, Karjala beer was already a fading brand until the Soviet Union's ambassador to Finland, Andrei E. Kovalev, stated in 1968 publicly that the label of Karjala beer evoked wrong perceptions from the war times. Karjala beer's label has the coat of arms of Karelia which features an arm wielding straight western (Swedish) sword thrusting a Russian sabre wielded by another arm. The press noted the event with an article spanning 14 broadsheet pages and Karjala-beer gained new steam as a brand.

      @lain It seems to be doing pretty well these days, based purely on the prevalence of signage. Lots of branded glasses in the second hand stores, too.
