This research discusses the meanings of advertisements for vodka produced outside Russia. This research aims to find the meanings contained in five Russian vodka advertisements by analyzing the signs contained in the text and visuals of the advertisements. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. There are two theories used, namely: semantic theory by Peirce (Noth, 1990: 44–45) with its second trichotomy (Icon, Index, and symbol) as the unit of analysis: and Multimodal theory by Kress & Leeuwen (2006: 43) about three metafunctions (ideational: narrative and conceptual images; interpersonal: gaze, distance, perspective; and textual: new-given, ideal-real, center-margin, salience, frame). The results of the study found that text and visuals in advertisements become a unity of meaning and advertisements for vodka produced outside Russia display Russian characteristics.
