Why is it vodka?

What beer is to Germans, vodka is to Russians. The Russians consume around 60 liters of their national drink per capita per year - as cheap liquor, fine drink and home-distilled. But the high alcohol consumption has consequences: every year around 30,000 people in Russia die of alcohol poisoning. WELT reporter Christoph Wanner has taken a closer look at the production and sales of Vodka - a lucrative business in which not everything is right.

The whole world is confident that bears walk the streets in Russia, and the entire population from young to old is drinking vodka from morning to evening. In fairness, we note that Russian people themselves recognize the reputation of inveterate drunkards and are proud of it somewhere. Russian Russian documentarian Alexey Khanyutin made an attempt to analyze the role of vodka in the life of a Russian person.

A man finds himself lying on a dirty street and tries to figure out how he got there.
