Governments decided to pour alcohol over the crisis?

Taking into account that mature men prefer vodka and beer, it is not difficult to guess that the research of marketers will orient the advertising of wine producers to young people and women, prenatal and birth age.

Thus, in addition to disrupting their health, an increase in the number of newborns with fetal alcohol syndrome is needed. But this is not at all a "European experience." As a sociologist and demographer notes D. KhalturinaFrance, a leading wine producer, has banned wine advertising not only on television, but in general. That is, they care about demography in deeds, not in words.

At the same time, the government did not forget about men, so in November the excise tax on strong alcohol was reduced by more than 9% (excluding wines and beer) - to 500 rubles. per liter of anhydrous ethyl alcohol contained in the product, freezing it until the beginning of 2017.

And recently Rosalkogolregulirovanie lowered the minimum retail price for vodka and alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of over 28% - from 220 to 185 rubles per bottle. This is stated in the order of the service, published on the website of the department. The document comes into force on February 1, 2015.

In addition, many bills are currently being considered to weaken restrictions on the online sale of alcohol, despite the fact that in this case it is practically impossible to control either the prohibition of selling to minors, or the presence of an excise stamp, or the timing of the sale of alcohol. And the restriction of territorial availability is simply meaningless.

Thus, we see how in recent months, and even days, a sharp attack on anti-alcohol legislation has begun. Alcohol lobbyists in the government of the Judeo-liberals use the thesis that price cuts and "trade liberalization" are allegedly under the flag of "". However, it is not. Over the past 3 years, excise taxes on alcoholic beverages have been increased in Russia. At the same time, the number of both fatal and non-fatal alcohol poisoning decreased, and revenues to the state budget from excise taxes on vodka increased by several tens of billions of rubles.

The amount of illegal alcohol depends not on the price of alcohol, but on the quality of tax administration and the quality of government control over producers and wholesalers. The problem of illegal alcohol in Russia was acute even with cheap vodka. To solve it, it is necessary not to reduce the price of vodka, but to apply the current criminal punishment for non-payment of excise taxes and trade in alcohol, which actually does not work due to the poor quality of legislative norms.

In addition, the "liberalization" of the alcohol trade contradicts the Concept for the Implementation of State Policy to Reduce the Abuse of Alcohol Products and the Prevention of Alcoholism among the Population of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2020. That is, the government goes against its own earlier decisions aimed at protecting the health of citizens.

From the totality of the above facts, it is not difficult to conclude - THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO FILL THE CRISIS WITH ALCOHOL - how did you do it Gaidar in the 90s.

But it is in vain to say that this is done with the expectation that people who have gotten drunk will not be able to go to rallies. This is an illusion, since drunks are much more prone to social disorder.

The only question is -

The "ideologically verified" recipe of Protocol No. 6 on provoking "anarchism and drunkenness" reads: "".

HISTORY OF ALCOHOLIZATION IN RUSSIA

Catherine II

The myth that people drank a lot in Russia was especially active after 1917. In Soviet times, it was spread by new "masters of life" from the townships, who destroyed the Russian national elite.

It is known that in Ancient Russia there was no drunkenness at all, no grapes were grown, and wine for the Sacrament was brought from Byzantium. The intoxicating drinks were fermented honey and beer, the latter being considered a low, pagan drink.

Sad historical events led to the production of vodka in Russia. In 1460, the Crimean Tatars captured Kafa, a Genoese colony in Tavria, after which the import of Italian and Spanish dry wines to Russia was stopped. There was not enough honey for mead, and the clergy strongly objected to mash and beer as pagan products, however, as well as to the excesses of alcohol in general.

So the Metropolitan of Kiev-Vladimir Kirill in the XIII century he actively preached: "". In the XIV century, the metropolitan Alexey Moskovsky writes: "…".

Ivan groznyj strictly limited the drinking of alcoholic beverages. In 1565, the first "tsar's tavern" was opened in the capital, which could only be entered by people from the tsar's circle, primarily the guardsmen. For drinking to common people, only the holidays of Christmas, Dmitrievskaya Saturday and Holy Week were strictly defined. For the use of vodka at other times, they were punished with whips, batogs and even prison.

[1].

In Russia, the taverns that began to sprawl at Boris Godunovwere destroyed everywhere: in 1598, private individuals were forbidden to trade in vodka.

Alcohol began to be actively used to replenish the treasury "Europeanized" Romanovs … But not for long - in 1648 at the beginning of the reign Alexey Mikhailovichin Moscow and other cities, "tavern riots" arose, which began in connection with the inability of the urban poor to pay the tavern debts and the devastating consequences of drunkenness for the people. To suppress these riots, troops had to be used.

The Orthodox associated drunkenness with the Fall. Influenced by the patriarch Nikonthe task of combating drunkenness is set. With the aim of reforming the drinking business in 1652, the Zemsky Sobor was convened, which was named "the cathedral of taverns." A decree is issued limiting the number of drinking establishments and the days of sale: "" [2].

"Wine clauses" on the "tavern part" that were valid in Siberia during Peter I, testify that he also did not favor drunkards and assigned them a special name "pityh". In the regulations, they were divided into three categories: a "cock" from the common people was punished by beating with sticks; A "cock" of officials was punished by the instructions of the governor; The "cock" of people walking was punished by forced labor [1].

With such restrictions, what kind of "constant drunkenness" can we talk about at all?

"LIBERALIZATION" OF THE ALCOHOL AND JEWISH TRADE

At the end of the 17th century, each Russian city had only one "lace yard". However, in the 19th century, the king Alexander II went on to reform the drinking business, strangely coinciding with the "liberalization of the Jewish question." In 1863, the government ceded the state's right to make vodka to private breeders and introduced a new sales system called. Mass industrial production of vodka in conditions of free competition and the abolition of the monopoly of tax farmers led to a decrease in its price, an increase in sales and an increase in treasury revenues from excise taxes. However, in 1864 alone, the consumption of vodka almost doubled. In addition to their own vices, by that time the "shinkari" began to catch up.

Alexander in vain ignored the position of his ancestors. In the empress's decree Elizaveta Petrovna of December 2, 1742 "On the expulsion of Jews from Russia" it is said about this directly: "…"

Under Alexander, by the regulation on April 26, 1862, the Jews were allowed to open printing houses, acquire land and land that belonged to the landlord estates, in which the obligatory relations between peasants and owners were terminated [6].

From January 11, 1863, merchants who spent 10 years in the 1st guild and 20 years in the 2nd, acquired the right to receive honorary citizenship, as well as merchants of other confessions registered in these guilds [7].

On June 28, 1865, Alexander II approved the decree "" beyond the Pale of Settlement "" [8].

What came out of such "trade liberalization" - according to one of the testimonies: "" [2].

Meanwhile, taverns began to spread throughout the villages and villages. In 1852 there were 77 838 of them, in 1859 - 87 388 and, finally, after 1863, their number, having increased by about 6 times, exceeded half a million.

A way out was found -. In 1885 the government Alexander III adopted a resolution granting peasant societies the right to close wine shops in villages by decision of village gatherings. In the Oryol province alone, 1200 restraining sentences were drawn up, in Saratov, instead of 1651, only 82 taverns remained, in Kursk, instead of 2258, 40. In Simbirsk, instead of 899, 18, in Ufa, 15 taverns remained for 1,723 thousand people.

[2].

CHURCH SELF-GOVERNMENT AS A FORM OF PROTECTION AGAINST ALCOHOL

The main factors that restrained the spread of drunkenness at that time were, on the one hand, Orthodoxy (especially the Old Believers) and Islam, which gave a strong immunity against drinking. Moreover, in Russia, collective abstinence from alcohol was also spread - first of all, where the shinkari were actively distributing alcohol. At the end of the 1850s, the Kovno province "tied up", the Vilna, Grodno and other neighbors joined it. Some have sworn not to drink until a certain period of time, confirming their vows with a letter. Others took oaths in front of the icon.

In one of the Russian provinces at the end of the 19th century. the Tea Party Union appeared. Before entering the Union zone, there was a huge samovar, and any traveler could drink a cup of good tea for free. It was impossible to find a glass of vodka or wine there. In accordance with local laws, drunkards in sobriety zones were fined and punished with corporal punishment - up to 25 blows. Half of the fine went to the secular treasury, the other to the parish.

In July 1889, the peasants of the village of Novo-Siverskaya, Tsarskoye Selo district, petitioned for the closure of drinking establishments on the territory of their village. The peasants themselves realized the harm and all the evil inflicted on their property and moral well-being by drinking establishments; and wanted to ban the trade and consumption of alcoholic beverages in their village. This is how the people themselves fought against alcohol consumption.

The Orthodox Church also did not stand aside. The Holy Synod, by a decree of June 5, 1889, summoned the clergy "". The clergy began to organize parish sobriety societies, of which there were up to 900 by 1890.

Tens of thousands of people joined Orthodox brotherhoods and societies in support of piety and popular sobriety; temples, shelters, hospitals and libraries were built. Thus, the Alexander Nevsky brotherhood of sobriety, which had about 70 thousand members in its St. Petersburg branch alone, built the Resurrection Church, a school, an orphanage, and much more [1].

Then - WHO FOLDED THE MYTH THAT THE RUSSIANS ARE A TRADITIONALLY DRINKING NATION?

Moreover, to such an extent that "Russian drunkenness" was introduced as a favorite topic for anecdotes and television comedy films. Talking about the tradition of Russian drunkenness has become almost a "sign of good taste."

Meanwhile, “drunk from time immemorial Russia,” as the West loves to represent it, at the beginning of the 20th century, in terms of the number of buckets of vodka drunk, modestly stood in the tail of the leading powers of Europe and the USA, taking tenth place: [1].

And despite the fact that in terms of alcohol consumption Russia occupied one of the last places in Europe, in August 1914, when the First World War began, the emperor Nicholas II banned the sale of vodka and other spirits, gradually extending the ban on wine and beer. … During the first years of the war, alcohol consumption in the country decreased several times. The number of violations of public order and absenteeism has decreased, and labor productivity has increased.

However, from the second half of 1915 and especially in 1916, the consumption of moonshine and other alcohol-containing substances became more and more massive, which led to numerous poisonings [2].

It should also be borne in mind that before the October 1917 coup, the sale of alcohol was shifted mainly to the west of the Russian Empire. For example, when a Russian citizen - today the so-called "Polish" - a writer Adam Mitskevich needed to describe the scene in the inn in his epic poem "Pan Tadeusz", he called the innkeeper Yankel and described a drinking establishment, comparing it to a Jew: "".

In the west of the Russian Empire, since the beginning of the 19th century, Jews have rented about 85% of all registered drinking establishments, where the stereotype of an innkeeper has developed:. The Jews dominated the drinking establishments so firmly, and this rule lasted so long that the typical proverb of the time said: "".

“Jews” in the west of the Russian Empire began to trade in alcohol, distilling abundant grain harvests from the South-West of Russia into vodka. Employee of the "Center for Jewish History" Glenn Dinner (Glenn Dynner) in his work "" described that many Jews aspired to become innkeepers and cup-bearers, making high profits by drinking the goyim. In 1912, a Catholic priest on the western outskirts of the Russian Empire wrote: "" [3].

Over the course of several generations, buying a drink in the Russian Empire in the regions of Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania meant making a deal with the Jews, since up to 75% of their total number turned out to be here.

The widespread dissatisfaction of the population with alcoholization, personified by private taverns, served as one of the serious motives for the restoration in 1894 by the government of Alexander III of the state monopoly on vodka. The place of the tavern was taken by a state-owned store, in which vodka was sold in sealed containers and only for take away. But here's what came of it. Famous Russian lawyer A. F. Koni wrote: "".

So near the state-owned shops there were "glasses" who offered their services for uncorking and a glass for drinking vodka. Gradually, a new, rougher type of alcohol consumption was formed - street drinking [2].

Among other things, in general, at least 1/3 of the Jews turned out to be associated with the alcohol trade [3], the same (if not more) - with the tobacco trade [4].

()

The same tycoons of the global alcohol trade Bronfmans initially engaged in the cultivation of tobacco in Bessarabia, then moved to Poland, where they began to sell alcohol. Having left for Canada, during the "Prohibition" in the United States in the 1930s, gangs smuggling alcohol that brutally killed competitors created the Seagram alcohol empire. As the founder of the automotive industry wrote in his newspaper The Dearborn Independent Henry Ford - [5]

"WINE GROUNDS" IN RUSSIA

We all remember from the history of the 1917 coup in Russia, where the provocateurs called the crowd to "destroy wine warehouses" - to create controlled chaos, when the Judeo-Bolsheviks seized "mail, telegraph, telephone" and other government bodies.

Taking into account that today the Judeo-liberals deliberately provoked a catastrophic fall in the ruble, the "liberalization" of the place and time of the sale of alcohol in a severe crisis, it should be regarded not as "flirting with the crowd", but as one of the forms of provoking unrest. Let us recall that during the coup of 1917, the "classic of proletarian literature" wrote:

M. Gorky, "Untimely Thoughts," November 1917).

With all this, -

ALCOHOL TRADE LIBERALIZATION HITS DEMOGRAPHY

We know very well how the policy of the "young reformers Gaidar" ended with "appeasing" the population with alcohol, when the state alcohol monopoly was abolished. A mass import into the territory of the Russian Federation of relatively cheap alcohol from Brazil, Belgium and other countries began, which became the main raw material for the production of cheap, including illegal, vodka. Vodka has literally become cheaper than soap, is available at any age, in any quantity, anywhere and 24 hours a day. The "pinnacle" of drunkenness was drinking, including street drinking, of undiluted 96 ° Royal alcohol, the label of which was basely "decorated" with the domes of the Church.

In 1993, an armed coup d'etat was carried out in the country, which liquidated the Supreme Soviet, and then all the local Soviets. And already in 1994-1995. alcohol consumption in the country has reached the highest level in the history of the country - 15-18 liters per person per year.

In addition to provoking chaos, both in the early 90s and after 98, this led to a colossal increase in the death rate of the population. Because of such decisions, Russia has already lost millions of people in the post-perestroika period. There are all the risks of repeating the demographic catastrophe once again.

FIGURES FOR COMPARISON

It is not difficult to see who, when and why was interested in soldering the people, and how much leisure is available at the same time (omitting the moral and ideological content of films and the country of their primary origin - during the current period of occupation).

At the same time, the prices for cinema tickets are only growing, and the cost of vodka is falling … At the same time, free medical care is canceled - which together makes you remember the words Adolf Aloizovich - one of those who tried to occupy Russia and arrange the genocide of the Russians:

But once again we ask ourselves the question - who benefits from the riots and the extinction of the Russian people?
