Oh, yeah!
The Russians are WELL KNOWN for their intolerance of drunkenness.
/s
The longest liquor store line I EVER stood in (apart from one recently in Plainville, Massachusetts) was in the City of Perm, Perm Region, Russian Republic.
On Saturday Nights in Moscow, it’s difficult to find anyone who is sober!
This must have been in the eighties :) No long lines for liquor are in Russia anymore...
