An interesting article here on the alcohol problems in Belarus https://www.opendemocracy.net/od-rus...ol-WHO-ranking
a particular story stood out for me , Lyudmila, 80, of a small village outside Minsk:
Three weeks ago my 61-year-old drunk neighbour died when his house burned down. Another neighbour of mine, 40 years old at the time, died right outside there on the street. She had been drinking heavily when fell she in the road. Her husband, who was less drunk than she was, pulled her corpse home on his sledge. That night he slept in the bath. Another neighbour died in the garden of one of these houses – vodka. When she used to go on her binges her husband would lock her in the cellar and pass food to her through the window. Now he’s started drinking too and he just recently had a stroke.’
