Vodka Politics: Alcohol, Autocracy, and the Secret History of the Russian State
Schrad, Mark (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, University of Illinois)
Alcohol-and alcoholism-have long been prominent features in Russian life and culture. But as Mark Schrad vividly shows in Vodka Politics, it has also been central to Russian politics. Not simply a chronicle of drinking in Russia, this book shows how alcohol has been a key shaping force in Russian political history.
