In the 1960s, the average Soviet citizen drank 4.6 liters of alcohol per year, and by 1970, this figure had almost doubled. By the early 1980s, this figure had reached 10.6 liters. Fines, dismissal from work, expulsion from the party... Soviet citizens were forced to wean themselves off alcohol.

How exactly did the USSR try to eradicate drunkenness? What anti-alcohol campaigns were conducted? What were the results of the bans? What was the outcome of the fight against the green serpent? Find out in the new episode of the Dostoevsky Lecture Channel.
