RUSSIA squandered TWICE

Twenty-five years ago there was a famous Soviet Union referendum. For the Union expressed 76.43%. A referendum on the preservation of the USSR has the legal power to this day.
It was only in the history of the USSR All-Union referendum.

In honor of this event, I publish a short passage from the book of my father, Vladimir Nikolayev:

"Since 1914, Russia has been discontinued, due to the outbreak of war, the sale of alcoholic beverages. Soon the country store were crowded with alcohol. Only there were about 700 wine and spirits stores in a St. Petersburg. You can imagine what a tremendous force alcohol bomb was planted under the city became the center of the riots. The Bolshevik unrest initiators is well understood, not by chance the October revolution coincided with the mass pogroms wine warehouses.
Drunken sailors and soldiers captured without a fight and the Winter Palace together with many townspeople looted wine warehouses, broken tysyachelitrovye barrels, some of the census and distraught people choked and drowned in wine. As is known, then the city had no other real force except the Bolsheviks led the sailors, soldiers and armed workers. When the "drunken" revolution triumphed, the organizers have begun to take steps to restore basic order, although this is clearly not in a hurry. Only 8 December, 1917, Lenin wrote a note to the Petrograd Committee of the RSDLP (b): "Please deliver at least 100 people absolutely reliable members of the party in the room №75, 3rd Floor, Committee against pogroms (for incurring service commissioners). Case paramount. The party responsible. Apply to the areas and plants. " That is, we are not talking about ordinary soldiers to restore order, but the commissioners, directors. Mass riots wine and alcohol warehouses have played a role, it was time to put things in order, but the elements cleared so that the drunken riots observed as early as January 1918. Then the powers of the special Committee to combat pogroms passed to the Cheka, the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, the main secret police of the new government. Using pledged under the city of wine and alcoholic bomb, state resolutely took alcohol production in their own hands, was nationalized nearly a thousand distilleries.


In fairness it should be noted that Russia began to guzzle since the February 1917 revolution. Across the country rolled a wave of banquets and other public libations, drank up and zabaltyvaet revolution, believing that everything will go for the better by itself after the fall of the royal government and the Bolsheviks, meanwhile, strongly prepared his October revolution, which took place at the right time in an environment that seemed I would still continue the revolutionary euphoria of February and March 1917.
Here's a typical scene from the memoirs Bunin:
"Spring 1917. Restaurant "Prague", music, crowded, rush sex. The wine is forbidden, but nearly all drunk. Music sweet cuts in. The famous liberal lawyer in uniform. Huge, thick in the chest and shoulders, cropped Swifts. So drunk that he yells at the whole restaurant needs to play "Oyru". His pal, zemgusar, still drunk, hugging and kissing him hungrily, furiously bites his lips. Music plays a plaintive dissolute, languidly, then famously:
-Eh, Rasposhel,
You are my gray horse, I went!
And the lawyer, raising his thick shoulders and elbows, jump, jump to the beat on the couch. "
In the evening, the day of the coup in Petrograd, at the Mariinsky Theatre hosted another show - ballet "The Nutcracker" at the People's House, as always with great success, there was a concert Chaliapin. Theatres, cinemas and concert halls work, as usual, the autumn season the entertainment was in full swing, until the morning buzzing restaurants ... Passers-by on the streets of the capital had no idea that any drunken crowd seized the Winter Palace and wine stores and that it will soon lead to the most sad consequences. And the province generally about anything that did not suspect ...
So quietly drunk old Russian.

For the second time already drunk another Russia - in December 1991, Yeltsin, this time in the Bialowieza Forest.
Soon after the October Revolution broke out a terrible fratricidal civil war, during which (from 1917 to 1922) killed 13 million people. She became a heavy hangover of the October Revolution. It might well not be, if not ... moonshine, which then turned out to be no less important than ammunition. Read the memories of her (they have accumulated a lot), written by both white and red.
Here is an excerpt from a very well-known at the time of the Soviet writer Isaac Babel: "We drank rum, waiting commissar, but he did not return to the headquarters. Romual down in the corner and went to sleep ... "Please note that the action takes place in the headquarters of the Commissioner in anticipation of the red! Another of Babel: "Labunov. Distillery, 8000 ... The Red buckets of alcohol, despite the ban, they drink ... "
B.Savinkov, known at the time the leader of the White Guard, wrote about his army of "walk the streets patrols. They keep order, but the order is not - a lot of drunks. Drunk, sober soldiers and officers robbed. Across the city is hopeless theft, outright daylight robbery ... "
From the memoirs of General Denikin:
"Now there is no more strength to fight with the people, which has no conscience, no shame. Passing military units will sweep away everything, destroy crops, livestock, poultry, break up state-owned stocks of alcohol, drunk, set fire to the house, smash not only the landlord but also peasant property! In each village developed distillation, which is not possible to fight ... In various localities Russian mob of angry dark, and often intoxicated by alcohol, the people ... "
And here is what Denikin wrote about the Bolshevik newspaper "Kharkov fell under an avalanche of the king's hangman Denikin ... and savage drunkenness from the Huns."
Several more evidence from the memoirs Bunin:
"Everywhere rumors of pogroms estates ... Plait bread, cattle, pig roast and drinking moonshine."
"The Economic Society officers on Vozdvizhenka drunken soldiers threw a bomb. Killed, say, not sixty, not eighty. "
"The sailors sent to us (in Moscow - VN) from St. Petersburg, absolutely rabid from alcoholism, cocaine, from self-will. Drunken break prisoners in Cheka without superiors orders and kill anybody. "
Member of the board of the Cheka (All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, the progenitor of the KGB) G.Boky recalled how he and Trotsky met a nice New Year's Eve in the Civil War:
"In the evening came the equestrian intelligence and reported in five miles grow huge spruce. We ferried to an armored train and started for the holiday dinner. An hour before midnight, Trotsky gave a pep talk, backed her a glass of champagne. We attacked the chicken and pork products. Champagne will soon come to an end, and one of the deputies of Trotsky recalled the village for the forest. The scouts immediately raced, ringing empty cans, and a couple of hours we poured moonshine expropriated under the cucumbers, mushrooms and bacon. " The fact that the brew was also expropriated (in cans!) Comrade Boki modestly ...
About how drunk Russian in 1991, it is known to everyone. It remains only to clarify that the chronic alcoholic Yeltsin put, we can say, unprecedented in human history, a record: at once propyl world's largest country, opoloviniv it with only one purpose - to keep in their frail already hands the state power over its remaining part. This statement is made not just to be witty. It is now no one disputes. In late 2006, came a big book (600 pages) "Yeltsin. Kremlin. Case History ", written by well-known journalist, expert in unraveling dark Political Affairs, State Duma deputy A.Hinshteynom. In addition to a very meaningful text, there are the originals of medical and financial records, which once again illustrate both the physical and mental illness Yeltsin, and the looting of Russia with him Croesus.
