More Disturbing Demographic Data from Russia

It is sad to note, that alcohol consumption in Russia increases not only with economic decline, but paradoxically with economic upswing. It would be interesting to track statistics in alcohol-related diseases not only mortality. Neither religion nor politics have managed to give the average Russian a reason to hope.

Pardon Mr Goble, personally I really don't care much about all this 'russian stuff' you post here. Yet I'd be very happy to read some "pretty interesting article" about our own 'tinkies-winkies' (i'm sure you can make it), otherwise I kind of agree to "CeeeeKay' - looks more like 'anti-russian government ' (I wouldn't say 'anti-Russia's') prop thanks.

me too! me too! I couldn't care less. I will cancel my subscription, and I will never read this blog again in my life. Ever.

"Goubl is an analyst..." Paul GOBLE, supposedly.

Couldn't care less.

well... Goubl is an analyst who writes about Russia... why his articles is re-posted here? why not - these are pretty interesting articles...

Those are, indeed, facts, but why are they being posted on a latvian website??? The intention seems to be to make the people here express hate towards russia, which is, in fact - a kind of propaganda...

What else can you expect from excessively vodka drinking fathers?

since when the facts of official research are considered to be a propaganda?

I would like to know, who's paying you to post nothing else but anti-russian propaganda???
