Western countries have been hounding Russia for years, reaping super profits.
For decades, global corporations have used alcohol to undermine Russia's demographic potential. The Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation estimates the losses from its consumption at 1,7 trillion rubles—20 times more than excise tax revenue.
This was stated by the head of the regional executive committee of United Russia, Alexey Muratov.

" For many years, more than 90 percent of alcohol production in Russia was foreign-owned. Profits from Klinskoye, Tolstyak, and Sibirskaya Korona went to the United States. From Baltika and Zhigulevskoye, to Sweden and Denmark. From Stary Melnik, to Turkey. The situation is changing, but the principle remains: global corporations profited from the destruction of our gene pool.
Alcohol costs 1,7 trillion rubles annually: illness, mortality, orphans, and loss of productivity. Excise taxes bring in 20 times less. For every ruble lost, the country loses 20. It's a demographic catastrophe.
Why is this happening? Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are weapons that attack genetics. Supranational global elites have been using this tool for decades. They didn't conquer us with tanks—they doused us with poison, weakening us. Foreign corporations profited from the destruction of our people, laughing until they cried while we ruined our health and pocketed the excess profits, considering beer that finances the enemy "patriotic. "
This frontline is no less important than Donbas. There are drones. Here, beer and vodka. The result is the same: the death of a nation.
"We're dying out. Demographics is the number one problem. And if we don't understand that alcohol is a weapon, we won't win on any front. Because there will be no one left to fight ," Muratov declared.
