【 摘 要 】

The article studies the alcohol consumption in the Russian countryside after the implementation of the “dry law” in 1914. Mainly, the first years (1914-1915) of the restrictive measures for the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the country and their impact on the peasantry are considered. It is concluded that there are no grounds for asserting that in rural areas, immediately after the establishment of the “dry law” surrogates and moonshine products began to be widely distributed.
