In 1997, a group of revolutionary-minded like-minded people, led by the glorious Aguardiente Comandante Ruben ibn Panasyan, waving a Mexican flag and open bottles of tequila, treacherously seized the basement of a dilapidated mansion on the Old Arbat. The basement was urgently converted into a revolutionary headquarters and named after the Mexican revolutionary, a bitter drunkard and a real scoundrel, Pancho Francisco Villa. During its operation, the brigade of the Pancho Villa headquarters has gained well-deserved fame, unquestionable authority and respect. The revolutionary patriotic movement for tequila, salsa, merengue and women has found understanding among the majority of the illiterate population. An endless stream of people carried revolutionary contributions around the clock, exchanging them for food and aguardiente.

The headquarters on the Old Arbat lasted for four and a half years, but after prolonged battles with the counterrevolution, the headquarters was forced to evacuate to another place – Los Yakimanos, which means Big Yakimanka in the Slavic dialect. In 2004, the headquarters cordially opened its doors to all the companions at the new location.
