Despite its name, the Purple Russian Tomato was originally introduced to the United States from the Ukraine in 1980. Though it should have possibly been called "Ukrainian Purple Tomato" to better reflect the variety's true origin, at the time, the Ukraine was still part of the United Soviet Socialist Republics and as far as the outsider was concerned, the entire country was just Russia and anything from there was therefore "Russian". Either way, with the stormy relationship between the United States and the USSR at the time, it was considered something of a minor miracle in those days to obtain tomato seeds of Soviet origin, thus the original seeds of this tomato variety were considered a true treasure. The Purple Russian Tomato produces an abundance of purplish-red colored, egg-shaped, six ounce tomatoes with a smooth, blemish free skin. VERY HARD-TO-FIND SEEDS!
