Production of vodka in Russia has plummetted by more than 13%, according to the latest data. The dip occurred between January and May as the country also deals with a shortage of potatoes. On May 14, President Vladimir Putin admitted that Russians "don’t have enough potatoes". Figures suggest that, in the first few months of 2025, the price of the crop surged by 52%, while the overall harvest dropped by 12%.
In the first five months of 2025, Armenia exported nearly twice as many potatoes to Russia as it did during the first half of 2024, and almost 17 times more than during the same period in 2023, the the country's Ministry of Economy told Russian news service TASS. Now, the Federal Service for the Control of Alcohol and Tobacco Markets, Rosalkogoltobakkontrol, has reported that Vodka production fell by 13.2%, to 25million.

Sure no problem, even during Soviet days there were always potatoes, but hey why not. Importing potatoes, ammunition, weapons, equipment…. All is well😎

Stop picking on Marcus!!
😄
When I first saw the headline, I thought, “Oh, no, more sober Russian soldiers attacking Ukraine.” But as someone pointed out, soldiers are really good at making essential supplies.
Meanwhile, I hope Marcus is indeed getting sunshine, fresh air, etc. as he supports Ukraine’s freedom. I manage all that and mow a big lawn once a month at 86, and I suspect FRiend Marcus is younger. Meanwhile I fail to understand how many good American could support an evil dictator like Putin. What is evil? Evil is a man who besides probably killing someone who disagreed with him (Prigozhin), then bulldozes the nice cemetery that Prigozhin had built to honor the Wagner soldiers who had fought and died for Putin’s glory. Not only was this unnecessarily cruel to the dead soldiers, but also to their grieving families. What kind of monster does that, and why is anyone here supporting him?
Well pointed out.
Total Ukraine propaganda BS. The Russian economy is not based on Vodka sales.
