The red grape variety originates from Russia. Synonyms are Bogata Kist, Cherny Vinny, Goryun, Khreshchatinskii, Letun, Osipnijak, Petoun, Plechistik Tsimlyansky, Rogataya Kisty, Tsimlyanskii, Vinnyi, Vinnyi Tsimlanskkii and Zimlanskii.
Despite some of the same synonyms, it should not be confused with the varieties Krasnostop Zolotovsky (Cherny Vinny) or Tsimlyansky Cherny (a direct descendant). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Tsimlyansky Belyi x Krasnostop Zolotovsky. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). It is a purely female grape variety.
