      **From The Telegraph:**

      The Kremlin is being urged to increase the [price of vodka](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/vodka/) in Russia to match war-driven inflation.

      From next year, vodka producers across the country want to see prices increase by 17 per cent to cope with a rise in tax, import costs and logistics expenses as well as a fall in the value of the rouble.

      The increase will only match the impact of inflation that has escalated [since the start of the war](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/russia-ukraine-war/).

      Veniamin Grabar, the president of the Lagoda vodka and spirits producer, told the RBK news agency: “The government is adjusting the market for inflation, as well as [changed cost prices](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/features/russian-vodka-may-cards-britain-producing-best-world/) and other components that form the price of vodka.”

      After the price rise, half a litre of vodka in Russia will cost 349 roubles (£2.37) up from 299 roubles set in June.

      Vodka is a staple of Russian culture and heritage. Much like beer production in Britain, every town in Russia has a local producer.

      The [average consumption](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/russia/articles/russians-drink-so-much-alcohol/) of vodka per person in Russia is around 17.3 shots per month, the [largest consumption](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/06/18/kremlin-officials-vodka-alcohol-ukraine-russia-war-stress/) in the world.

      Maxim Chernogovsky, an analyst who tracks Russia’s illegal alcohol market, said that the price rise will increase demand for bootlegged vodka, known as “samogon”.

      “People, especially those with low incomes, are starting to look for cheaper substitutes and are switching to illegal alcohol and surrogates: samogon, ethyl alcohol-based medicines and other dangerous alcohol-containing products,” he told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

      Revolution will now be inevitable, the Russian people will not tolerate it

      Suddenly that bag of potatoes for your husband’s death is looking pretty luxurious as far as compensation goes.   

      Arent russians also famous for drinking liquids that arent suppose to be drunk, in order to get intoxicated? 

       “The average consumption of vodka per person in Russia is around 17.3 shots per month” I dont drink, but arent shots those little tiny glasses that people tend to drink multiples of when they go out to bars? 17 sounds like not a lot for an entire month, when people drink a few of those on a night out. I would have expected more tbh. “Per person” – is this drinking-age person, or including children as well? I guess that skews the numbers a bit.

      Maybe when they sober up they will realize that they are the baddies?

      Hopefully, this pushes vodka beyond the reach of the average vatnik, and they’ll have to develop a more dangerous alternative to get their fix (like they did with heroin and krokodil).

      That’ll definitely not go down well with the Russian population!

      No freedom of the press, fine. Needlessly invading your neighbor and killing hundreds of thousands of young soldiers for no reason, no problem. An uptick in vodka prices, “we must revolt!”.

      I think vodka is like heroine there. They can charge whatever and the hard-core addicted will pay

      so, eventually one good point of the war: alcoholism will eventually be eliminated in RU…

    16. Not_Bed_ on

      Mobilitate *ALL* NATO intellugence with the sole purpose of increase the price of Vodka

      Once it reaches a level unsustainable for the average Russian income, we’ll win the war in weeks, at most, I’d bet for days

      I’m hoping all LGBTQ+ parades in the future will adopt and use the same blue and white striped t-shirts.
