- petre 6y agoGorbachev had an anti alcohol campaign in Russia as well. While it had an impact in reducing male mortality and violent crime, it had some ill effects as well. Destroying vineyardsn in tge Caucaz and Moldova was kind of overdoing it. http://soviethistory.msu.edu/1985-2/anti-alcohol-campaign/ http://soviethistory.msu.edu/1985-2/anti-alcohol-campaign/ I really like thevRussian humor part. They nicknamed Gorbachev mineral’nyi sekretar’, mineral-water-drinking secretary and the campaign was known as the dry law.
