The Western propaganda machine is trying to convince the whole world that the Russians are drunkards and lazy people, and that is why they did not have their own statehood and waited sitting in the trees for the Varangians who supposedly had nothing to do with Russia. Then they waited for a long time for the “wild barbarians” to be given a diploma by the “civilized” Christianizers … However, for many modern independent researchers it is quite clear where the legs of such myths grow from. Even according to official information, one can find that Russia is far from the most drinking country, and recently, either because of the sanctions, or because of something else, and in general Russians are drinking less and less.

The Rus had statehood long before the arrival of the Russian (and not any Norman) prince Rurik, and the "creators of the Slavic writing" before its "creation" studied the ancient Russian letters, in which the Psalter and the Gospel were already written in Russia. But vodka also came to Russia from abroad and for a long time was used only as a medicine, until the Germans, Dutch and other Europeans who poured into Russia under Peter I brought along with them the "European values" and the habit of getting drunk to a half-scotch state. It was they who were the first real drunkards on the territory of our country.

Well, didn't our ancestors really drink alcohol at all? It turns out that the ancient Rus, long before the arrival of Christianity, prepared intoxicating drinks from cereals in the form of kvass and beer. And if non-alcoholic kvass was used as a drink in everyday life, then low-alcohol beer was used during the holidays as a ritual “drink of the gods”. Here's what you can read about it in the book by Yu. Petukhov "The Primary Origins of the Rus":

And if we note, the process of increasing alcoholization of the population both in "civilized" Europe and in "wild" Russia went from the consumption of light intoxicating drinks on holidays in Vedic societies to the use of wine after the adoption of Christianity, and then strong alcoholic drinks with widespread drunkenness in industrial "civilized" societies. And since Russia has always lagged behind the “civilized world” in the level of comprehension of “democratic values”, in fact it has always lagged behind in terms of the level of alcoholization of the population. And to this day, despite another Russophobic myth about drunkenness as a national trait of Russians, many "civilized" Western peoples consume much more alcohol than we do per capita.
