Secrets of Russian vodka. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev. Nikishin A.

This book is about six years of five hundred years of history of Russian vodka, which fell on the years of reign in the USSR M.S. Gorbachev. This brief segment was saturated with epoch -making events. Among them, the introduction in 1985 of the "dry law". It is believed that it was he who led to the 1991 folk rebellion, followed by the collapse of the USSR, the coming to power B.N. Yeltsin, the creation of a mafia “family”, and the foundation of today's breathtaking corruption was laid.

But is it right to consider that it was the “dry law” of Gorbachev who hit the roots of a once powerful and prosperous country? Was this step for the USSR a blessing? The historian Alexander Nikishin discusses this.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
