 The College Hill Independent - Nov 2
Six hundred tons of hazardous liquid, intended to be sold as ‘vodka’ to the members of Russia’s lower class, were recently seized in the southern city of Voronezh.
The seizure is part of the government’s effort to combat the outbreak of alcohol poisoning that has swept the country in the past few weeks.
While the manufacture of this cheap and often lethal samogon is one of Russia’s oldest traditions, recent government legislation intended to curb the sale of untaxed alcohol has led to a dramatic rise in the price of legally manufactured wine, beer and—most importantly—vodka.

 Russian 'surrogate' alcohols are a killer
For the current study, researchers analyzed the surrogate products being consumed, dividing them into three broad groups: "samogon" (home-produced spirits, also known as "moonshine" in North America); medicinal compounds, essentially tinctures containing herbal remedies; and other spirits (mainly aftershave products and cleaning fluids).
Samogon consumption is, of course, in addition to other alcohol surrogates such as eau de colognes, aftershaves, and medicinal compounds."
The so-called aftershaves are sold in brightly coloured quarter-litre bottles and it seems very difficult to believe that those making them do not know that they are being drunk.
