That's true and their longevity is one of the shortest in the civilized world. On average they smoke and drink heavily. I visited Russia when I was 58. I had a Russian guide who, when I asked, said he was 39. I expressed the wish that I was 39 again. His reaction was to inform me that at 39 in Russia he was not considered young.
