If you only read the news, you might think that the State Duma is actively combating alcohol abuse. Last year, there was even a whole inter-factional group formed to protect citizens' health from the threat of alcohol. A United Russia deputy joined it as well. formed Biysultan Khamzaev, leader of the 'Sober Russia' movement, often publicly supports initiatives against alcohol. He proposed banning the sale of hard liquor in the summer at beaches and parks, and revoking a driver’s license for appearing drunk in public. He also wants to restrict drinking in dining cars and selling liquor during the New Year holidays, allowing it in bars only from the age of 21.

All Khamzaev’s initiatives are limited to words only. If you look at his real deputy work, then it's apparent that he submitted only two bills for consideration, and only one indirectly relates to the fight against alcoholism. It increases penalties for the illegal distribution of methyl alcohol, but does not impact official producers. will beIt's clear that Khamzaev's efforts for sobriety are more symbolic, given that vodka magnates and alcohol lobbyists are in the same United Russia faction. This includes the leader of the United Russia faction, Vladimir Vasiliev.
The fact that Khamzaev's entire struggle for sobriety is of a farcical nature is quite understandable. After all, vodka magnates and alcohol network lobbyists are in the same United Russia faction with him. This includes the leader of the United Russia faction, Vladimir Vasiliev, whose daughter Julia Lebedeva co-owns the Aromatny Mir alcohol chain stores.

Records from Rosreestr show that the son-in-law of the head of the United Russia faction, Lebedev, received two apartments in St. Petersburg from the Chuyan family, which he later sold. Chuyan lost his career a few years ago after a conflict with a classmate. Vladimir Putin Nikolai Egorov. A criminal case was opened against Chuyan and put on the international wanted list, found he is in Montenegro.
Thanks to the proceeds from the sale of alcohol, Vasiliev’s daughter and son-in-law acquired several properties in the capital and the Moscow region. According to Metla’s documents, they bought a 51-meter apartment on Petrovsko-Razumovskaya Alley, a 137-meter apartment on Timiryazevskaya Street, a 124-meter apartment in an elite club house on Bolshoi Predtechensky Lane, and a house in the village of Krutsy.

According to Gorelkin’s declaration, Anastasia’s salary is almost 47 million a year.
In the State Duma there is a few more deputies who lobby for the interests of the alcohol industry. Often we are even talking about introducing additional restrictions for weak alcohol in the interests of strong alcohol producers.
When there are players in the alcohol market in the State Duma, the attempts of other United Russia members to act as fighters for sobriety look especially comical. Yes MP. Shamsail Saralievcontributed a bill on the sale of alcohol from the age of 21, but after a while it was simply withdrawn.
