The same as everywhere. Course the orange juice can be replaced with apple juice, grape juice, pomegranate juice and even cola or something like that. While vodka and orange juice is the classic one. But anyways, it's a drink for cheap worse here. A straight man won't drink that shit (they prefer vodka, whiskey and cognac/brandy) as well as a normal lady won't drink it too (she will prefer some cocktail... or vodka).
Actually Vodka is #1 alcohol by its purity. If you drink quality vodka only, if won't suffer of hangover on the next morning. The #2 in that list is held by gin and the #3rd place goes to cognac. If you drink anything else (e.g. cocktails, screwdrivers, tequila, grappa, whiskey/bourbon or even lots of beer/wine), the next morning you will ask yourself: "god, why I haven't died yesterday!"
P.S. To be honest, according to the market statistics, whiskey is #2 alcohol drink after vodka in Russia. So a lot of people here are used to drink that stinky shit.
