Rövid leírás:
Since the `Green Serpent' appeared in Russia in the sixteenth century, it has played a vital part in the social, economic, and political life of Russia. It became an essential part of working-class celebrations, both personal, religious, and commercial; by the nineteenth century it generated one third of government revenue - enough to cover most of the costs of the vast army. This book, which concentrates on the nineteenth century, is the first detailed study of the role of Vodka in Russian society.

This is a study of the social, economic, and political role of Vodka in nineteenth-century Russia. Since the `Green Serpent' first appeared in sixteenth-century Muscovy, it has played a vital part in Russian life. Vodka became an essential part of Russian working-class celebrations: personal, religious, and commercial. Trade in Vodka redistributed wealth upwards through Russian society over several centuries. Indeed, Russia's status as a great power was underpinned by it: by the nineteenth century, it generated one-third of government revenue - enough to cover most of the costs of the vast army. The dependence on Vodka of both people and state has endured into the Gorbachev era. But despite Vodka's key role in Russian history, and the complex network of corruption associated with it, the subject has been ignored by most historians until now.
This study concentrates on an important transitional era in the history of Vodka: the early nineteenth century. During this period, Vodka taxes played the role that salt taxes had played in the ancien régime in France. The abolition of the tax farm in 1863 should be seen as one of the most important of the `Great Reforms' of the 1860s, an era which, in many ways, parallels the glasnost of the 1980s.
This is a work of admirable scholarship on a subject of immense significance in Russian history, and one that has been scandalously neglected.
