      Any time I see Molotov’s name I can’t but laugh a bit on the history of term “Molotov’s Cocktail”
      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov_cocktail#Etymology

      Etymology Edit Vyacheslav Molotov, 1945

      The name “Molotov cocktail” was coined by the Finns during the Winter War (Finnish: Molotovin cocktail) in 1939.[10][11][12] The name was a pejorative reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was one of the architects of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact on the eve of World War II.

      The name’s origin came from the propaganda Molotov produced during the Winter War, mainly his declaration on Soviet state radio that incendiary bombing missions over Finland were actually “airborne humanitarian food deliveries” for their “starving” neighbours.[13][10] As a result, the Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet incendiary cluster bombs “Molotov bread baskets” (Finnish: Molotovin leipäkori) in reference to Molotov’s propaganda broadcasts.[14][10] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack and destroy Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the “Molotov cocktail”, as “a drink to go with his food parcels”.[15][16]

      Despite the now infamous name, the formal Finnish military term for the weapon type was, and continues to be, “burn-bottle” (Finnish: polttopullo,[10][3] Fenno-Swedish: brännflaska).[2]
