these are still part of the lingering results of marxist leninist communist scam philosophy which ravaged, pillaged and destroyed Russia and other nations and which is still alive and well in other forms today
@maurizius27 You're right Marxist-Leninist Othrodox Bolshevism has destroyed not only Russia's Traditional and or Classical culture but has ruined the souls and minds of Russians as well as others in other nations who had to live under this horror....Marxist-Leninistic Bolshevism.
@Aliea5c How the fuck would you know anything about Russia? You live in the US. Ever since the collapse of the USSR living standards and stability have plummeted into a black hole where as crime, poverty, corruption and racist gangs have skyrocketed. You ask any Russian of the old days and they'll tell you just the same. Even Stalin's USSR is preferable in many ways to todays Russia.
@adgw1423 I hear that poverty caused corruption among Russian officials throughout local government throughout the rural countryside of the Russian Federation has caused high unemployment and has caused s significant number of poverty stricken Russians throughout the rural countryside to drink themselves to death and or plain out just commit suicide.
@Aliea5c And stop trying to pin the blame on Marx and Lenin for how Russia is today. Post 1991 Capitalistic oligarchs have been doing nothing but selling out Russia to foreign markets and corrupting the economy inside out. The Russian people have been hit with a tidal wave of unprecedented freedom which they don't have a clue how to handle. No wonder it's fucking anarchy. In the USSR there was Guaranteed employment, free Healthcare and a home for every citizen. Capitalist Russia is shit.
@adgw1423 Oops...I meant to say that corruption among Russian officials throughout local government throughout the rural countryside of the Russian Federation has caused high unemployment and has caused s significant number of Russians end up in poverty throughout the rural countryside. So they drink themselves to death and or plain out just commit suicide.
This is bull****! People in Britain drink much more than my fellow Russians!!!It's just that Brits get drunk at home and Russians in the public! Very few people in Russia drink like this
If you prohibit non-toxic thinks like cannabis drinks you encourage people to be irrational and dellusional and kill themselves with legal alcohol. The man in the video said beer had no alcohol. I don't even know how to respond to such a statement since there is such a contradiction.
@invisibleisolation Let me explain you something,my retarded and uneducated friend - any country who's credit reiting is lower then A+ is a 3-rd world country.Not a single person will die of hunger in my city (Los Angeles) tonite.How many will die hungry in your town tonite? Propaganda? i have 26 news channels from all over the world (including BBC,AL Jazeera and many others).You are the one stuck with pathetic excuse of a news from ORT.So - shut your pothole and mind your own business,son :-)
@vuikenshtein O'rly? You haven't seen all the homeless people in the US? All the crackheads and drug addicts? LA you say? In "your" city MANY people will die tonight from hunger, smack, crack and meth use and of course there will be several shootings and murder. I'm not Russian and I'm not American - I'm just showing people that you're lying like a dog. Also last I saw Russia didn't have any crisis and American banks were seeking help from the developing countries incl. China and Russia.
@kotapaka There is a difference between inocent people that die of hunger and junkies that chose crack and smack over life.THERE IS NO HUNGER in LA - every night they have free food outside every restaurant that's a member of "feed the hungry" compain(there is alot of those in LA,it gets you taxcuts at the end of the year to do that) And in Russia there is people that die simply becouse there is no food.So - you are barking like a dog.At the wrong tree too.
@kotapaka bitch,your fucking english is only my fifth language.So my spelling is pretty good.How many languages do you speak,badbreath pussy brit? By the way,i do speak-read-wright in spanish but spanish is not my native language.I'm not from Mexico nor am i from South America:-) So your guessing is about as fucked up as your logic:-) So - Chinga tu madre ,pinche pendejo:-)
@onceANexile First of all - there is no such country as "AMERIKA". It's United States of America. Second - how the fuck did you come up with that stupid number?90.000.000?! Third - Poor men in USA are still enjoying more priveleges and posibilities of being rich then any MIDLECLASS men in Russia.
What is wrong with drinking at 16-17 New Zealand does and a lot of young people that drink and smoke young are underaged. I am a smoker and light drinker at only 16 I would hate to see the price of cigarettes go up just because an anti- smoker said so.
@jvarela965 where do you get notion heroin abuse is a big problem in europe? it is a problem but it's marginal, alcohol is a much larger problem in most european countries i know of; and let's not forget about tobacco, cafeine (special now with these energy drinks) and even sugar or fat. people tend to forget that they take and are addicted to dangerous substances like that. i know at least 1000 times more people addicted to sugar than heroin, even more addicted to sugar
@butobuto1 I was under the impression that heroin more than cocaine was the scourge in Europe. Of course tobacco and refined white sugar can be addictive but we are talking about hard narcotics.
@jvarela965 i'm pretty sure in this area of europe (belgium, holland, germany,..) heroine is rather old school. it's still there but not like in the 70s and 80s. alcohol was always a 'social' drug, but now young teens start drinking thanks to the bacardi breezers and such. also amphetamines (XTC and the sort), i from know working in a disco, is still widely used. also coke for those who can afford it, luckily i never heard of crack here, i know by experiende that's the scourge in the us
I think it's sad for Russia to lose so many-many good love ones to the bottle. But... in America i can't say we are any better , I too drink alot but never all day,or before eatting .....so to all please becareful . On the the other side of the coin we should understand that drinking is a Cure/blessing/and a Demon in a bottle .
@RockRebel1998 Glad your dad got away from that country(send him my praise about his drinking habits!) - we have only alcoholics left. I look at guys of my age - saaaaad view. I better die without men than waste my life for such dumbasses!
@RockRebel1998 are you kidding?! Buddy, there`s nothing to do here in Russia. Crappy jobs(for most ppl), low salaries, shitty roads. IMHO Russia is only OK for tourism(in summer you wont freeze your buttocks off! )...I`ve been suffering from cold for all my life in Siberia, I`m fed up.
@MariaSiberiaPA Sorry to brake it to you, but i rather live in Russia than anywhere else, its my country were i feel safe, i rather live in Pripyat than Las Vegas, i rather freeze but wait for the beautiful summer and spring that Russia offers, i rather be in the Red Plaza than the rat-filled dirty and crimefull streets of New York, i rather live in a country that pretty much defeated the nazis and saved the world from extermination, thats my opinion.
my god i'm sick of people accusing russia of being corrupt, drunks and anti - social or nazi's, the problem is not as big a deal when your actually there! and if it is WHY DOESNT SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? no point just blabbing on about something you can't change.
@spe315effect And if I see the way you write and the sense it makes I would deduce that you indeed smoke dope since none of it makes any sense. BTW pot is NOT medicine that a damn lie dopers are trying to get the world to believe!!!! I can't believe anyone has been con'd by this lie.
You're a fucking moron. Marijuana helps a LOT of people and if you think it's more harmful than cigarettes or alcohol then you're more brainwashed than the North Koreans. Retard.
@k1skaaa You're a fucking little kid that thinks he knows it all. You grew up in a time where it's not OK to say it's not OK to not do something, with the belief that you can do anything you want without repercussion, and I didn't. I didn't say anything about promoting cigs or booze, that's just more of the comparative bullshit stoners like yourself have to bring up to even have a point at all! This isn't about comparing it's about lies, the lies you keep telling yourself and others.
I'm a little kid that thinks I know it all? Why don't you do some fucking research on things you asinine piece of shit. You have no idea how I grew up so don't even start on that. Bullshit stoners? I smoke marijuana to counteract the nausea I experience from the moment I awake to the moment I fall asleep. Don't tell me I'm lying when I'm getting help from it, you have no damn clue. Keep being an ignorant fool, it's not affecting my life what-so-ever.
I'm not angry by any means, just unsatisfied that idiots like you still roam this Earth. I'd rather be high and pain free than sober and be a pussy like you. Bet the only thing you suck on is the head of a cock. ;) You can't verbally confront me anymore, can you? You have nothing else to say other than "stoner bitch"? You might be taken seriously for once if you were reasonable. You and racists have a lot in common, unfound hatred for something you can't understand. It's okay <3.
@docrw marijuana doesnt make you cool. it makes you calm and its not harmful whatsoever. You should be calling people who do cocaine smoke cigarettes drink achohol.. etc. Your just wishing you could have a puff of some weed. ;) . And if your american well... guess who has one of the highest numbers of drugs... :) Americans smuggle marijuana cocaine heroin ectasy they find anything to get high with. Beer is not bad... compared to what americans put in themself.
@k1skaaa More Americans. Hehe. I'm in America Right Now Sir. They smuggle cocaine from mexico. and look at calfornia :) 420** . And Ok how bout the kids at school from junior high - highschool and above. in my town thats they're *thing*. and i live in a good town in illinois. :\ . All i see are kids trying to sell weed smoking it and also bribing adult to buy cigs for 'em. i know kids of russia smoke buut. worse drugs are in america. that like i said they smuggle <3
@spe315effect That's not what you were promoting! You're a stoner burnout promoting the use of cannabis and abuse of drugs. Medical marijuana is such a joke, the stoners have done a good job of misleading the public.
LOL I was really being faceitious. All things in moderation. Hell, I have high blood pressure that is quite a pain to manage naturally, but I sacrifice fried foods, bad fats and a lot of tasty things to make it happen. I keep my weight between slightly under and normal BMI so I am sure to stay well and fit. I still enjoy the occasional package of Turkisk Peber salt licorice and love my salt...but in moderation. Going overboard on stuff even water is not such a good thing! LOL.
A hard life doesn't seem to be the problem that rings out to me i am sure it plays it's part but it is the social perspective it has which is the problem. When every treats drinking as ok and otherwise harmless to a degree aka socially acceptable the problem starts.
@MexicansROompaLoompa Statistics aren't the truth my friend. Is Russians are so happy, why is the suicide rate there one on the highest of the world? And what about the millions of people, including children, who live on the streets? And all the drug addicts? Many people now have things that they didn't have in Soviet times, but in those accursed Soviet times there were no drug-addicted street children who give blowjobs to pedophiles to survive either. Think about that.
I feel bad for Russian people, who are very talented and great humans. I hate Russian government, who don't take care of its people. Not all Russian drinks, but problem definitely exist. I hope that Russia will get a strong leader soon.
at least russians aren't addicted to soft drinks like Americans and Mexicans. Those fat assed Americans don't live long either... and they have none of the fun Russians have while drinking...
"Russians developed a taste for beer" - historically, -one absolutely ignorant statement.
Beer was a daily drink to many Russians during the 70 years of Communism (though it was only called Communism in the West, Russians called it Soviet Socialism) and was sold bottled or draft on practically every street corner. Many treated is a soft drink, not really considering it to be alcohol, while varieties of draft beer sold in restaurants were usually mild not exceeding 3-4% alcohol...
kill the fucking idiot that did this video, everyone knows that no1 consuments of beer are we czechs!!!! (for uneducated americans - czech republic is the ex-communist middle european craphole country which does nothing noticeable except kicking ass in ice-hockey)
I like how they credited Konstantin Kuznetsov as being from "Alcoholics Anonymous" as if it's a company, and that is his job or something. Come on people. Get a damn clue... According to the "Twelve Traditions of AA": "Eleven—Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films." What a load of shit. Is this not press? And/or film?
I lived in Russia for almost 16 years, was born in Siberia, and seen all these things happen on a daily basis. I never drunk in my life because I saw all the terrible things drunk individuals did, but I could tell you, living in a country like Russia was not easy at all. Most people say it is a Russian tradition to drink which I will agree upon, but you have to realize that a lot of the people that drink, do so because of a hard condition of their lives. They, at times, see no purpose in it.
@Whinestee google for per capita alcohol consumption in the world-Irish drink more then Russians-the problem is that 50% of Russians got so called Mongoliam gene which hamper alcohol to disolve in blood-it results that 50% of Russians are more vulnerable to become alcoholics-the same gene in Inuits and other Northern nations-living conditions have nothing to do with this problem-there are poorer countries in the world without alcoholics-simply Russia-haters use this genetic condition to mock
@Whinestee Im from Canada and its the same here, or at least here in the west it is. EVERYONE in my family are alcoholics and i vow never to drink just like you. If my mother didn't have me on her back all the time she would just drink 3 gallons of wine a day and never do anything all day but watch t.v..
Christ that dude downed that Russian Standard like it was cola!, I have stopped altogether after a few silly years. Here in the UK, they don't advertise alcohol or cigarettes on TV until after 9pm, and you have it confiscated if walking around the city center with it. This is probably because the healthcare of dealing with alcoholics is expensive to the state, but in Russia it is encouraged because the govt. gains great tax money on it.
Did you know on average Germans and Czechs drink more alcohol than Russians a year. During OktoberFest so much beer gets consumed, and its coming up tooo!!!
I lived in Russia and i have to tell you this video is true. Child alcoholism is rampant everyone has a bottle in their hand. It is very sad to see that in such a great country. Yet all of the drunk people you see in this video that are laying around are bums. Do not think these are normal people. These are low lives that fucked up and have nothing else to live for.
@MrMushupork many of these lowlifes have a degree. with such low salaries and pensions it's no wonder they get over the edge so easy and when your there drinking makes a great short cut to end your misery (life that is) on a cold winter night.
who are you to judge Russian, you didn't even suck your mother tit when we sent Gagarin to space. And who wone second world war, you fucking yankis???? no Russinas, Russians did it check your history book/
If to check up statistics, in Russia rather a small amount of chronic alcoholics. Spirit consumption by one person in a year in Russia even is less, than in the European countries. Check up statistics, the clown
i sold a 6 pack beer/bottle of vodka everyday 6 am to a russian that seemed lobotomized his hands shaking and his eyes rolling walking like screwed robot i have never seen that, russians are plain dumb animals brains froozen dont understand freedom or democracy or freedom of speech... stereotypes? russians are drunks there and everywhere, numbers say so, freedom of speech is not for them, only a good smack on the mouth works by the way the barefoot afghan humilliated the red army its a fact
Today's news ... the russian govt wants its people to drink and smoke more, so that the govt can get more monies for its social security funds. Is that wierd? Go figure!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And russians in the Baltic states are given the same social security monies as the legitimate citizens ... but they spend much of it on vodka and riots, demanding russian rights from the indepent countries. Is that sick? Russians ... GO HOME!
As google search for per capita comparative alcohol consumption in the world shows Russia is NOT the most drinking country in the world - even in Europe Ireland and Hungary goes ahead of Russia and Ukraine has the same rating as Russia - this video is promoting deragatory stereotypes, but the problem of alcoholosm ofcource does exist...also Pain has nothing to do with that - or the author wants to say that under communism and in Stalin times life was better in Russia?-interesting stupidity !
People it doesn't matter who drinks the most, but I do agree that Russia drinks more alcohol than any place on this planet and that is a lot because there are so many places that consume a lot as well..my best friend is Russian and she says it is a real problem with the men, they are dying so young and the girls are drinking a lot too..Need control...
I love the Russians. Great people. When I lived in the southwest United States it was the Native Americans who would consume and unfortunately would lead to stereotyping the Indians as drunks. This was at a time when you could drive up to a window and purchase the booze from an outlet source from your car.
I'm a British Indian and i just spent 2 weeks in Saint Petersburg Russia. It was truly an amazing and special time. I spent time with my Russian friend. Yes, I saw a lot of people drinking alcohol but that is no more different then people in England. We have a big problem here in England with alcohol. Anyways, Russian people I met were intelligent, non-alcoholic and simply they were the most warm, welcoming, gentle people I have ever met.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
russia is still searching their self-confidence. And it seems that many citizens try to drown their own missing self-confidence. The results are often racists-groups and homeless childrens. Alcohol is Russias biggest threads. I dont looking pretty optimistic to the future of Russia.
@alekseys123 It seems there is less difference between America and Russia all the time. We had freedom for a long time. Freedom bought with blood. That is now being taken from us, as the super rich take everything we have. I would hope that things would get better for the Russians, especially the poor who have suffered too long. Yes, America is falling now too. Are you happy for this? That tyranny is in triumph? I will wish better things for you.
@motley416 Half of the comments on here are describing how of low Russia is. Ive lived in America Almost Half of my life, and Ill tell you, there are way worse things here then over there. Russia Is actually not going down. It is being brought down by USA which is bringing down the whole world. Welcome, your own government is trying to kill us with the New World Order.
So, Aleksey, if America is so terribly destructive and evil, and such a malignant influence and potential destroyer of the rest of the world - why do you still live there where things are "way worse"? Why are you not back in beloved, unfairly-criticised Russia, where things aren't so "low"?
Because you are just like the rest of your compatriots - going crazy and screaming about how the world criticises poor, perfect Russia - whilst all making sure they never have to go back there.
@krakenwave Perhaps because i was brought here with my parents. I had no other choice. And I am not Saying anything about Any other countries its just the fact that half of these comments and remarks are all dissing on the country.
Then welcome to democracy - late but never mind. The gold standard of one's allegiance is accepting that nothing and nowhere is perfect. Accept that there are problems - and hope and work for their salvation.
In it videos are distorted the facts, video imposes stereotypes, is discrimination. Probably, the author very much hates Russia. The reasons of this hatred are known only to the author...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ReDDDgo oh cmon every person in this world who knows some russian people can say that they are heavy drinkers-they know it,we know it,everybody else knows it...its just a russian thing
Where are your "facts" to prove this is all wrong? Facts, cited with sources, not pulled out your arse. And why this childish, paranoid assumption that because you don't like what is being reported, it must be discrimination and lies? So the world knows that there is a serious, long-standing problem with alcohol in Russia but no, you say its evil lies! You want Soviet Politburo bullshit media back? Bad news is banned! Everything is wonderful! Gulag? Mayak? Chernobyl? Capitalist lies!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ReDDDgo So please explain the distortions.I promise to listen. This is your opportunity to tell YOUR version of the truth. But some FACTS must remain despite what you think. Russians DO drink more hard liquor than any other nation. It is easier to tell a Russian that you are gay than to refuse to drink with him. As a total abstainer, I'm treated as a bit weird and an oddity by my Russian friends. Most of my Russian friends think that I can't possibly be a 'real man' because I don't drink.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ReDDDgo I don't see any discrimination here... Russians drink way too much, just walk around city streets after 6pm and you need no other arguments. Average annual consuption of pure alcohol is 18 litres in Russia - that's way to much - it's simple fact.
It wasn't translated that guy from Taganka theater said "People with strong spirit do not need vodka during bad times only weak people do". It is also a shame for us - I'm Ukrainian and so, maybe the strongest will survive in the end, I don't know... Anyhow the video is surprisingly pretty much true. Some things are exaggerated but it doesn't make much difference. I see also some cheap vine in CA costs just couple bucks but I did not see drunk dudes sleeping on the sidewalk. Well yet ...
Im100% Russian and unfortunately MOST is true.. We are not the most drinking nation tho :P and I very much doubt we consume HALF of the WORLD'S hard alcohol.... Thats just retarded.. But we do have the largest alcoholic problem.
I am Russian, and i would like to say that stereotypes are created for a reason lol , and drinking is a HUGE problem in Russia, it is almost like obesity in america
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ReDDDgo Oh please. The last time I was in Russia, in 2006 (I'm from Moscow), beer was sold next to soft drinks in movie theaters. Drinking is a HUGE problem in Russia and that's no stereotype. There's no "distorted" facts in this video, it's facts --period. And it is, indeed, the country's tragedy (among others).
@ReDDDgo yo dont tell me that everythig they say in this video is a lie coz its not. even kids from 14 to 16 about 75% of them drink regularly and im not even tolking about ppl abowe 16. next generation of russians are going to be mentally challenged and some even handycapped and it is proven, even some inteligent russians dont opose this coz its a fact and dont start saying somebullshit coz even u know its the truth.
Russia has best drinking culture of the world. Russia will get rid of all its excess waste humans. Also lot less is now spend in pensions and nation stays young and efficient. All that money can now be spend in nuclear missiles and war machines.
That's worse than the Holocaust, I think even Stalin would be shocked. And for what? For democracy? Any informed person knows there is as much democracy in Russia today, as there was in the 1930's during the worst days of Stalinism, and atleast back then the economy was actually developing. Today what we have in Russia is an autocratic dictatorship of oligarchs who plundered the labor and wealth of the former USSR, to benefit their own privilege and power.
This is the progress brought about in our country by capitalism. Free markets have brought Russia neither freedom, nor increased standards of living. The only legacy left by the end of the Soviet economy is massive poverty, crime, inequality, corruption, alchoholism, death, and population decline. Since 1991, the population of the territory of Russia alone (excluding other former Soviet republics) has decreased by 7 million.
If Stalin hadn't killed 20 million Russians, then Russia would be a clear superpower today. He sent the best people from the greatest country on a war against Naziism. Germany took out every single European country except Britain* and the Soviet Union, and those two countries were stopping him from implementing his Nazi
*Hitler couldn't use his tanks against Britain since Britain is an island. Despite that, he almost eliminated Britain, but he stopped short to invade the Soviet Union instead.
@IKnowWereYouSleep ideologies across Europe. Without the Soviet Union, Hitler would have taken out Britain completely and he would have continued his genocides/mass killing sprees against all non-Aryan races and mentally and physically ill people across Europe. Anyways, the only country that could stop him was the Soviet Union. I mean, France, Poland, Belgium, etc. were naturally all very weak and didn't pose a threat to Hitler.
@IKnowWereYouSleep The real reason why Russians drink so heavily is because, as I previously stated, Stalin sent tens of millions of Russia's best people into a war (about 11 million soldiers in total DIED), leaving millions of families and worthless people without half a brain living in Russia. The death of the male made families mourn and maybe start drinking. Also, the slobs (every country has them) kept on drinking, so there was no change there. Russian women's beauty symbolizes
@IKnowWereYouSleep how Russians were back then. Since women weren't sent to war, they kept on living and reproducing with their favorable traits. Russian men, on the other hand, were generally ugly after all of the purges and wars killed the good looking Russian men. I don't expect anyone to actually read this, so I'm just going to end it here :). I hope this cleared things up to some of you.
The captions are mostly incorrect. They're much more simplistic than the dialogue that they're captioning, but I guess it's needed for you average Americans.
(This is coming from a person of Russian ethnicity and who was born in California).
My poor Russian brothers I am sorry to see such misery. My people in Lithuania also suffer from the decay and erosion of society and community, making alcohol and harsh drugs as the only escape. Ganja would conquer this sickness.
it's really SO HARD to leave in Russia , SO HARD , so many people just can't consult with their life. From early 1990's there was oligarchy in Russia ,when 15% of country grow rich and other people have money only to buy bread with water for whole day, so people moved below the breadline and the only way to have some rest was a bottle of vodka. There are still a lot of people below breadline now in Russia , who has no work , or works to earn some money for food , and they are drinkin' a lot

@jvarela965 where do you get notion heroin abuse is a big problem in europe? it is a problem but it's marginal, alcohol is a much larger problem in most european countries i know of; and let's not forget about tobacco, cafeine (special now with these energy drinks) and even sugar or fat. people tend to forget that they take and are addicted to dangerous substances like that. i know at least 1000 times more people addicted to sugar than heroin, even more addicted to sugar

@butobuto1 I was under the impression that heroin more than cocaine was the scourge in Europe. Of course tobacco and refined white sugar can be addictive but we are talking about hard narcotics.

@jvarela965 i'm pretty sure in this area of europe (belgium, holland, germany,..) heroine is rather old school. it's still there but not like in the 70s and 80s. alcohol was always a 'social' drug, but now young teens start drinking thanks to the bacardi breezers and such. also amphetamines (XTC and the sort), i from know working in a disco, is still widely used. also coke for those who can afford it, luckily i never heard of crack here, i know by experiende that's the scourge in the us

"Russians developed a taste for beer" - historically, -one absolutely ignorant statement.
Beer was a daily drink to many Russians during the 70 years of Communism (though it was only called Communism in the West, Russians called it Soviet Socialism) and was sold bottled or draft on practically every street corner. Many treated is a soft drink, not really considering it to be alcohol, while varieties of draft beer sold in restaurants were usually mild not exceeding 3-4% alcohol...

I lived in Russia for almost 16 years, was born in Siberia, and seen all these things happen on a daily basis. I never drunk in my life because I saw all the terrible things drunk individuals did, but I could tell you, living in a country like Russia was not easy at all. Most people say it is a Russian tradition to drink which I will agree upon, but you have to realize that a lot of the people that drink, do so because of a hard condition of their lives. They, at times, see no purpose in it.

@Whinestee google for per capita alcohol consumption in the world-Irish drink more then Russians-the problem is that 50% of Russians got so called Mongoliam gene which hamper alcohol to disolve in blood-it results that 50% of Russians are more vulnerable to become alcoholics-the same gene in Inuits and other Northern nations-living conditions have nothing to do with this problem-there are poorer countries in the world without alcoholics-simply Russia-haters use this genetic condition to mock

Christ that dude downed that Russian Standard like it was cola!, I have stopped altogether after a few silly years. Here in the UK, they don't advertise alcohol or cigarettes on TV until after 9pm, and you have it confiscated if walking around the city center with it. This is probably because the healthcare of dealing with alcoholics is expensive to the state, but in Russia it is encouraged because the govt. gains great tax money on it.

That's worse than the Holocaust, I think even Stalin would be shocked. And for what? For democracy? Any informed person knows there is as much democracy in Russia today, as there was in the 1930's during the worst days of Stalinism, and atleast back then the economy was actually developing. Today what we have in Russia is an autocratic dictatorship of oligarchs who plundered the labor and wealth of the former USSR, to benefit their own privilege and power.

This is the progress brought about in our country by capitalism. Free markets have brought Russia neither freedom, nor increased standards of living. The only legacy left by the end of the Soviet economy is massive poverty, crime, inequality, corruption, alchoholism, death, and population decline. Since 1991, the population of the territory of Russia alone (excluding other former Soviet republics) has decreased by 7 million.

*Hitler couldn't use his tanks against Britain since Britain is an island. Despite that, he almost eliminated Britain, but he stopped short to invade the Soviet Union instead.

@IKnowWereYouSleep ideologies across Europe. Without the Soviet Union, Hitler would have taken out Britain completely and he would have continued his genocides/mass killing sprees against all non-Aryan races and mentally and physically ill people across Europe. Anyways, the only country that could stop him was the Soviet Union. I mean, France, Poland, Belgium, etc. were naturally all very weak and didn't pose a threat to Hitler.

@IKnowWereYouSleep The real reason why Russians drink so heavily is because, as I previously stated, Stalin sent tens of millions of Russia's best people into a war (about 11 million soldiers in total DIED), leaving millions of families and worthless people without half a brain living in Russia. The death of the male made families mourn and maybe start drinking. Also, the slobs (every country has them) kept on drinking, so there was no change there. Russian women's beauty symbolizes

@IKnowWereYouSleep how Russians were back then. Since women weren't sent to war, they kept on living and reproducing with their favorable traits. Russian men, on the other hand, were generally ugly after all of the purges and wars killed the good looking Russian men. I don't expect anyone to actually read this, so I'm just going to end it here :). I hope this cleared things up to some of you.

The captions are mostly incorrect. They're much more simplistic than the dialogue that they're captioning, but I guess it's needed for you average Americans.

My poor Russian brothers I am sorry to see such misery. My people in Lithuania also suffer from the decay and erosion of society and community, making alcohol and harsh drugs as the only escape. Ganja would conquer this sickness.

it's really SO HARD to leave in Russia , SO HARD , so many people just can't consult with their life. From early 1990's there was oligarchy in Russia ,when 15% of country grow rich and other people have money only to buy bread with water for whole day, so people moved below the breadline and the only way to have some rest was a bottle of vodka. There are still a lot of people below breadline now in Russia , who has no work , or works to earn some money for food , and they are drinkin' a lot
