- Die from alcoholism or die at the front. The Kremlin does not seem to see any other options for its citizens. This year, the consumption of strong alcohol has increased in the Russian Federation. According to the Federal Service for Alcohol Market Regulation, 549 million liters of strong alcohol were sold in the country in the first half of the year - 42 million liters more than in the same period last year. Tens of thousands of Russians die every year due to the use of surrogates. How Russia is drinking too much - our correspondents will tell.

It goes from bad to worse in Russia. If alcohol does not kill you conscription will.
Fucking wonderful !!!!!!!!
Why would conscription kill you if Russia is only using professional soldiers, while ukriane is using conscripts…
Anyhow I don’t even see how all these brainless slobs cant talk about ukriane when mentioning Russia. This has nothing to do with Ukraine..
Well Said !
According to Putin, Russians conscripts have served their life goal with their deaths at the war front.
Or a combination of BOTH!
I'm pretty sure russia is famous for 3 things. Potatoes, potato vodka, and fertilizer for potatoes.
You missed domestic violence. They're experts at that.
And now fertilizer for Ukrainian wheat fields.
Russia must now depend on their "diverse" economy for the next 30 years, thanks to Mr Potato head.
the fertiliser is russian soldiers in ukrainian tato fields
I think of potatoes are more of an Irish thing.
If I lived in Russia I would be a drunk, too...
How do you make a White Russian? Invite trump over for dinner.
The worst part is it was staged, so they could of written any script. Yet Putler shows his total incompetence once again by fielding stupid questions with stupid answers. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Could’ve.
If he was Putin at all
It was a disgusting performance. He really hates Russians and wishes them to death.
@@williamwilson6499 English professor at a prestigious university I assume.
Putin is not an impressive man..
Becomes? It’s been a fact of Russian life for many, many years.
Won’t explain the source, but I know of a Russian airfield that was put out of commission back in the 80s because their brake fluid was alcohol based and the soldiers drank it all.
That was the Mig-25. Alcohol coolant.
The “flying distillery?”
Ethyl alcohol....
As the great Tom Waits said in a live recording, "You've been drinking cleaning products all night . . . open for suggestions."
Whilst they were drinking brake fluid they could stop at any time............
I visited the USSR in 1972 and saw the scope of drunkenness sprawled on the sidewalks at night. An expat in Moscow told us of his friend, a former Soviet fighter pilot, who said the first thing sold out in the PX was after shave used for consumption. His fellow airmen had experienced serious ice problems as the wing deicer tanks were sometimes empty as it had also been consumed. How many cases of blindness in Russia can be attributed to methanol? This is a society with a severe self-destructive orientation.
Like it said in that book "Ecocide in the USSR" (Murray Fessbach, 1993) the idea of drinking less vodka seems like a waste of self-control when the city puts homes and schools right next to a giant industrial plant belching green smoke into the air constantly.
TRUE STORY. My father in law was shot down piloting a B24, WWII. The Polish partisans helped get him to safety. The Russians flew him back to somewhere (don't remember) to get him hooked back up with the Americans. Shortly after departure one of the pilots held out a container and asked him if he wanted some deicing fluid to drink. He declined. What they are saying here is not only true, but not remotely a new phenomenon. Really comforting when your pilot is sucking down crap like that, I'm sure.
Makes me wonder if the Russians rubbing alcohol is 'denatured', as it is in the States. Denatured means adding a poison, basically. On Russian dash cam video you can see drunks falling down in the middle of streets and everywhere else, constantly.
Usually denatured alcohol (like that used to disinfect things) does not actually have poisonous substances in them any more. They just add extremely foul-tasting and hard-to-extract chemicals instead. Doesn't work so well when need to drink is strong enough. People dying is bad advertisement.
Viagra like drugs are big sellers in Russia due to the high alcoholism and impotence being the first symptom/problem arising.
Vodka makes for great birth control.
@@davidsalo8397 And population control. Drink up, Orcs!
Am I wrong or aren't some these women actresses the same that had a "soldiers mothers" conference with Putie a few weeks back?
Indeed. Putin re-uses actors.
Same ones. Paid actors.😊
Sounds like a self fulfilling proficy. If you tell people the best you can be is a drunkard, then what do you expect?! Putin and his croupt cronies could have raised the rural Russian people out of poverty, but chose to invade Ukraine in attempt of false glory.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Glory to the heroes 🇺🇦
We need an operation to send in mass quantities of krokodil to Ruzzia…
This man thinks strategy
the lack of heroin due to the taliban cutting off their only export as a moral high-ground tactic (as if we havent fucking seen that before in the same country) - this is going to unfortunately get alot worse than Krokodil for almost everyone in that region.
im genuinely surprised no one has made a video about the Tianeptine over there yet.
Breaking news: water is wet!
Tell the Russian soldiers in Ukraine "Surrender and Ukraine will give you each a warm bed, hot meals, and all the vodka you can drink until the war is over."
GREAT IDEA !!!
Just send them a few tankers full of vodka, laced with something like ricin or Novichok.
Anything but deal with the reality of their Russian "prison lives".
Have you tried fentanyl?
Be politically active and live in a democratic country or get drunk. They made the easy choice and now they pay.
There's an alcohol problem in Russia?
I am SO glad that I was sitting down when I heard about this. 😆
It’s been like that for years. the men die young or are un-marriageable due to alcoholism, and there are a lot of single women in Russia for this reason. It’s also why there are so many Russian mail order brides, and I think there will be even more in the future.
Oh yes, I met a Russian woman from Tolyatti 20 years ago, and even then she said there were 3 women for every man in that city... and "none of the men who were there were worth anything". The entire Russian state is in a death-spiral due to their pathetic manhood crisis.
In Russia alcohol isn’t just a lifestyle, it’s all of the four recommended food groups. 🥃💀
Instead off 155 mm shells start firing Vodka at the Orcs
Today's bodycount, 360.3k total Russian
casualties,
90k KIAs
We should probably take up a collection to furnish each conscript with a 1.75 liter bottle of Everclear before battle.
"Alcoholism in Russia has acquired the scale of a humanitarian catastrophe." On the upside, by dying young and rotting mentally, aren't they going the world a bit of a favour?
Sounds like Russia should start putting antabuse into the food supply. Maybe that would slowly reduce alcoholism in Russia.
lets get this right - are they really 'mothers'? are their loved ones really in the military and on the front line? and if not - why are we all not calling this out and saying 'the alleged mothers, who are part of the Russian propaganda lies' instead?
No, they are Putin's staff that he uses in all his photo ops. Putin is like trump, a notorious coward, no way he would allow anyone near him that he doesn't consider to be, safe.
Exactly... this #BUNKERDWARFPUTIN video is fake as fvck.
Those "mothers" are crisis actors that #BUNKERDWARFPUTIN has used in other #RUZZIANPROPAGANDA videos...
And the one "mother" with the picture - her spawn died in 2019.
We are....
We can all agree that Putin has overstayed his welcome in this world.
_He should leave immediately._
Hes basically saying that life in russia is so trash that if your sons didnt go to war theyd die from vodka burnout lmao poetic
If I lived in that H Russia I would drink to.
Putin saying everybody is going to die (leave this world) anyway shows how little respect he has for life and for his citizens. Sure these men would have died some day, but there is no good reason why they should die in a war way before their natural time.
They need to make weed legal in Russia.
He didn't leaved life in wain...
Don't forget mouthwash. You must have clean mouth before enter meat grinder comrade!
Putin keep them drunk. Sad
Vive l’Ukraine 🇺🇦👍🏻💖🇫🇷
But alcohol is an effective way particularly to cold places like Russia
There's going to be a LOT of lonesome single Russian girls when this war is over. I'll drink to that! Burp!
DEAR GOD THIS IS UNREAL , YOU PEOPLES OF RUSSIA NEED TO RUN
Its his falt .because he treats his peaple bad.
Just give Russian soldiers vodka (or any harmful substitute) ...
OMG!!
Yes alcoholics...
In Chechnya they emptied out the shock absorbers of tanks to drink the fluid...
Btw most people would turn to drink if you had to live a serf's life in russia.
Does alcohol affect the brain?
If your countries economy has gone to shit, live poverty line and life sucks ya I would be an alcoholic too
Yeast feces.
Ukraine should paradrop vodka from drones on ruzzian front lines.
Sad 😔
From what I was told from my Ukrainian friends back in the 1990s who have served in the Soviet Army at the time, Alcoholism has always been an issue with the Russian army for decades.
Centuries. It goes back to Imperial Russia.
ruclips.net/video/vK7l55ZOVIc/видео.html
Alcoholism and russia go back WAY further than that. For around 500 years, the state has had a monopoly on alcohol production and sales. They actively promoted the consumption of alcohol since a large portion of government funding came from it’s sales. By the time Tsar Nicolas II realized there was a problem and tried banning alcohol it was too late.
@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson hmm interesting to know.
Alcoholism among Soviet troops in Afghanistan contributed to some helicopter losses as troops were siphoning off rotor blade de-icer fluids for drinking and diluting the remaining fluid...ice build up at high mountain altitudes not optimal.
I lived in Moscow about that time and you would see guys drunk on the street on your way to work _every day_ .
The zenith of empathy!!! ‘ Don’t worry Mama, everybody gotta die sometime’ . What noble words of comfort!! ‘At least he died for me before he drank himself to death.’ Russia is doomed.
Russians reach their life goals when they die for Putin.
great paraphrase!
funny because its true... bye bye "Russia" hello 12 quarreling distant municipalities (that will mostly now get swallowed up by 'best butt buddy" Xi in a few years).
What a creep
@@tunahxushi4669 some of it belongs to China. The Russians annexed massive chunks of china. They’ve had disputes for centuries. Now the whole world has seen the laughing stock Russia has become, China will likely take it back at some point in the future.
Russia has had an alcoholism problem for a long time. Many many women complained that their husbands would disappear with their buddies and drink themselves silly. You can’t blame them too much, because under Soviet rule, and now under Putin, there is very little opportunity to improve your living situation. All that’s left for many is escape.
Every time Russian leader tries to reduce drinking or ban it creates a disaster for the ruler - Nicolas II and Gorbatsov both did it before they were taken down :D
Is it only men? Not so much women? Does anyone know?
@@veramae4098 It is mainly men, this is seen also from life expectancy for a Russian man is average 68 years only
@@veramae4098 Women also!!
this is tradition from the days of the tsars. Even if things are good and they had opportunities they'd still drink themselves silly.
Putin speaking with actors acting as soldiers mothers is the most Russian thing Ive seen since Kherson was "Russia Forever"
Ya...
He paid for the party, stage, fireworks, bands, celebrities and all those busses to bring captive party members in to wave flags months ago....
No refunds.....
so the little dicked girly man held hands on stage prematurely....
Forever was only 2 weeks.
Poor Vladolf....
No one wants to be seen with him anymore..😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😪😱
Some of those "mothers" are wives of the Party members who work in the Kremlin. They need to change their clothes more often so they don't keep getting caught on camera.
Since Ivan the Terrible. Sure would give me reason to drink.
"Alcohol addiction *becomes* a norm in Russia" 🤔 hasnt it always been?!
Yes
I feel like the number of alcoholics in Russia was quoted way less than what I would have though.
How bad is it getting that they're *noticibly* more drunk
If you had to live in russia wouldn't you drink yourself numb too?
Probably, it's a potato based economy.
Given how ridiculous their laws are about marijuana, probably, yeah.
everyone gets wasted in the states as well,life is better here but not good enough
No he didn't
I drink myself numb here in Alabama, USA. We are maybe the closest thing to Ukraine on this continent.
A farm worker greets Josef Stalin at his potato farm...
“Comrade Stalin, we have so many potatoes that, piled one on top of the other, they would reach all the way to God,” the farmer excitedly tells his leader.
“But God does not exist,” replies Stalin.
“Exactly,” says the farmer. “Neither do the potatoes.”
Pray the hunger away?
They pretend to pay us.
We pretend to work.
Love these Soviet jokes!
Not very often a laugh out loud!!!
Grt joke
Fetal alcohol syndrome is rampant in Russia; as we’ve seen in SO many videos. Sad but obvious.
Russia is in a hole they cannot escape. A hole that Putin keeps digging.
It shows up in their faces and IQ's...
OMG that is fukn sad..
If Fetal alcohol syndrome is rampant then the resulting adults are not able to make critical decisions and are easier to enslave.
True, how else would Putin have come to power?
It's not just alcoholism that's ravaging the population in Russia. It's also drug resistant tuberculosis, HIV, and hepatitis. Authorities stopped publishing those statistics years ago, and one can only surmise that the situation with those diseases is even worse now.
Many soldiers are complaining about just that. Confined to small spaces with people coughing up blood and a week later they are all coughing.
Its ok though.
You're fodder.
No medical costs will be increasing for mother russia. So, no worries.
Die brave you coughing conscriptoviches...
Maybe get real 🍻 drunk👍
All good news for the rest of the world.
@@tomrogers9467 That's a bit too far, don't you think? Not all Russians are bad people.
If someone would publish those statistics they would fall out of the window or die from drinking some tea - also common diseases in Russia.
About 25+ years ago, I was at a party with a bunch of Russian men. They were drinking vodka like it was water. One of the Russian men bragged to me that in Russia there are NO ugly women, there is just not enough vodka. After seeing their wives, I understood why they drank so much vodka.
Sounds just like the Iron Range in Minnesota.
Don’t blame the women….sexist disrespectful thing to say. Shame on you.
@@Ukie88 As if Ruzzian women deserve respect! NOT!
Russian women can very physically attractive up until about age 22. Then suddenly they turn into fat ugly babushki.
It's Russia. What else is there to do? Also, a decreasing Russian population equals a safer world.
Thankful every day that I wasn't born in Russia.
Safer world? Russia is the opposition to the west, along with Iran, India, and China.
It’s just a safer lgbtq friendly ‘European values’ and enforced ‘American values’ which the east isn’t in favor of.
@@schutzanzug4518 you forgot North Korea.
The lowered IQ of drunk babies....
FUN FACT: The women in the conference who presented a photo of her "son" is an actor, like every other women there. The "sons" photo was found on a grave of a man who died in 2019 from domestic violence due to drinking (how ironic).
I'm reciting this from memory but I think the saying goes a bit like: "Russians run on cabbage, vodka, and _nichevo._ In a pinch, they can do without cabbage."
No wonder they have a really bad gas problem.
@@davidsalo8397 So the gas comes from the Russians themselves? Do they milk them, just like cows? Now I'm triple happy that we have shut that source off!
🤣🤣
Dude dies of "low-quality alcohol"? Find more of it and make airdrops of the low qualitiy stuff on Russian troops. Win the war without fighting.
Just let them find bottles of vodka laced with cyanide and add clear and obvious warning labels. Russians ignore obvious bluff because they never label any bottles correctly so there obviously is no cyanide in pristine vodka. Strong acids and other nasty chemicals also work.
or just airdrop high quality alcohol behind Russian lines and have their soldiers "retreat" there :>
Russians will drink anti-freeze, drop ship loads of it.
In the Ukraine, it's been reported that local Ukrainians have SPIKED vodka with poison knowing that the Russian soldiers will steal it and drink it, killing many of them!
Sounds like a war crime
The top 3 countries with the highest rate of alcoholism are: Hungary - 21.2%, Russia - 20.9% and Belarus - 18.8%. Ukraine is at 6% while the U.S. - 13.9% and Canada - 8% are both higher. This speaks a lot to the ethics of the Ukrainian people and their comfort in life within the country. They may be one of the poorer countries but they are one of the strongest. слава Україні❤
Was surprised about Hungary. Result of ruzzian occupation in the past. I think the Hungarian government has forgotten about this time by supporting Putler.
Source?
@@Ukie88 Internet, alcoholism by country.
I live with n Ukraine, very few homeless people. Melbourne where I grew up had more. Ukraine is very civilised . I cry it was invaded by such barbarians
Hungary, Russia and Belarus. Well, that explains a lot about their politics.
The unmitigated gall to respond to a mother who’s lost her son in this way for no other reason that for the twisted, historical delusions of this man speaks to his unmistakable sociopathy.
Russia has always been this way....
He just has no empathy or conscience. To him, ethics or morality is as random as the rules of a tiresome board game. And it has as little emotional impact.
The real kicker is: not even inviting the real mothers but a group of known actors always called upon to play 'civilians' and then saying 'we all die someday'... Psychopathy has nothing on this monster.
It can be very depressing to realize that the entire point of your life is to be cannon fodder for a terrorist invasion dreamed up by a narcissistic sociopath. I imagine that’s a good enough reason to drink.
It can be very depressing to realize that the entire point of your life is that you're Russian.
The alcohol business is growing, perhaps the only domestic sector growing in Russia, for the rest, the largest export of Russia is chaos, war, and shit. Slava 🇺🇦🇺🇦
You say Slava ,do you moron even know what that means.. Both russians and ukranians are Slavs as for 11 other nations settled in Europe ,we are the same people with same genetics and haplo group ..The one that benefits the most from this conflict is the US ,they do not lose their men ,but sending weapons so other nations can kill eachother
I wonder if the high blood alcohol content of the Russian soldiers is why their tanks blow up like they do... those dudes are so loaded they're flammable
It wasn't the autoloader after all....🤔
@@VajrahahaShunyata :)

My dad served in the Soviet military for around 2 years even tho he was listening for conversations of plane pilots and didn't do much besides that, he said that lots of higher rankings were always drunk coming to him to talk, also besides military when at work places, directors, managers always liked to drink at work with each other, even you normal worker and you bring vodka you will become best friend and can rise in position quickly.
The russian MoD literally described losses as “alcohol surrogate poisoning”. Lmao #2 military😂😂

Look at how Putlers 1st action is to set away the cup of tea further from him, like it is red flag (pun intended)... KGB professional deformation in action. CIA Russian operatives lesson one should be: do not drink the tea. Lesson two: stay away from windows.

Alcohol in Russia ????? It dates back to CENTURIES !
Exactly. The Mongols were horrible alcoholics back in the middle ages, and the Russian state and its people today are direct descendants of the Golden Horde Mongols.
No matter what the outcome of this conflict, imagine how many mentally destroyed men will have to carry on there lives (in russia) living with the terrors that they saw during this conflict.
I saw so many American men with PTSD once they returned from Iraq and especially afganistan. Neither of these conflicts were as brutal and barbaric as the Russia/ ukraine war (meaning face to face trench style warfare).
Agreed. This catastrophe will hurt for generations. They have the illness, they have the weapons. this will destroy so many lifes it hurts to think about it.

Putin should triple the price of Alcohol...then he could afford to buy decent soldier gear.
Doubtful. He would just pocket that extra money.
He would rather buy more rockets to shot aimlessly
Noooo! That way you will trigger a Revolution! They do not care about the special operation in UCRAINE but do not touch the only privilege they have! Irony mode ON
He could've bought decent gear before if the Oligarchs didn't steal the money to purchase yachts.
@@larzkruber822’aimlessly’ if you were in Ukraine you wouldn’t be typing this.
I do remember this specific statement that Putin did, with his so-called "mothers of dead soldiers in Ukraine". I was speechless. He said, _"And how they go die of vodka or something else."_
Wow. Just ... wow.
Lol Putty
Communism back in the day and I am talking about when Poland was occupied, Vodka was available when food wasn't as if you keep the people drunk they are easier to control, in Russian the worse the weather or the colder the climate the % of the Vodka rises.
In North Korea, Canalis is legal, and widely avalable - One of PRNK BIGGEST Crops is Opium Poppy's, And their Narcotics Exports --
P.S. Sorry for typo - CANABIS-MARIJUANA
Now Russia is a fascist nation and they are still all boozers. The Russian people must love to suffer under authoritarian leaders, Just like Republicans.
They've had plenty of time to get their act together. They deserve every drop of that misery as does their economy.
Back in the 70s the Mig25 Foxbat radar and fire control systems were of tube type design and generated so much heat they developed a cooling system using denatured alcohol. It's a known fact that 30% of its fleet could not fly because maintenance crews were drinking the alcohol.
Vodka has been a tax farm for Moscow governments since the 1400s. Russia does nothing to stop alcoholism in the country. I have seen drunks piled up like castoff junk in a large room described as a "hotel." Russian tankers are known to drink alcohol-based brake fluid, even removing used fluid from the tank's reservoir. This does little to help the vehicle, and less to help the crewman. A great deal of Russian political apathy springs from the consumption of alcohol. Their bizarre, often capricious behavior is well-known too. It's funny in YT channels like "Another Day in Russia" and Meanwhile, in Russia", but it gets soldiers killed at the front. Soldiers shooting each other behind the lines, etc., usually starts with too many bottles present. Then someone notices there are too few bottles, and the shooting starts.
Low quality alcohol is recirculated vodka?
A Brave man who send others to their deaths for his own ego while he lives in safety and in comfort.
As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇺🇦☺️🥰
LOL, alcoholism has ALWAYS been Russia's norm
He may not have lived in vain, but he died in vain.
the russian here in germany, most of them are drunk before the noon.......its a cultural problem!!
Seen on a T-shirt once: "Alcohol; helping people reproduce since 1652." (been so for waayyy longer than that)
I believe that, while alcohol may lower inhibitions in that regard, it also depresses performance.
@@condorboss3339 When people were using water for drinking and not bathing, one didn't smell very good. Lowering inhibitions would be required to keep from potentially wretching!
There’s literally a troll witch sitting on Putin’s right (our left) side 😮😮😮
Better they die for me than die from vodka says alot about what he thinks of his own men
Time for Putin to leave this world
Putin also lived, so to me, he could be kind enough to leave this world today.
For once puylo told the truth; orcs have alcoholism in their genetics.
NAH. Her son just died invane.
Putin could help by leaving his life sooner rather than later.
In Soviet Russia alcohol drinks you 😵.
I've been hearing and reading about alcoholism in Russia since my Army days in the late 80s. It was a problem for them back then, and apparently they've done nothing about it. Not that it's a surprise really.
I remember that after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1990, it was easy to trade a Kalashnikov with ammunition for a few bottles of vodka with the Russian soldiers here in Germany.
Maybe Putin should go stand on the front line
