  Russia
is famous for its vodka, and its culture of extreme intoxication. But just as vodka is central to the lives of many
Russians, it is also central to understanding Russian history and politics.
  
  In Vodka Politics, Mark
Lawrence Schrad argues that debilitating societal alcoholism is not hard-wired into Russians' genetic code, but rather
their autocratic political system, which has long wielded vodka as a tool of statecraft. Through a series of historical
investigations stretching from Ivan the Terrible through Vladimir Putin, Vodka Politics presents the secret history of
the Russian state itself-a history that is drenched in liquor. Scrutinizing (rather than dismissing) the role of alcohol
in Russian politics yields a more nuanced understanding of Russian history itself: from palace intrigues under the tsars
to the drunken antics of Soviet and post-Soviet leadership, vodka is there in abundance.
  
  Beyond vivid
anecdotes, Schrad scours original documents and archival evidence to answer provocative historical questions. How have
Russia's rulers used alcohol to solidify their autocratic rule? What role did alcohol play in tsarist coups? Was
Nicholas II's ill-fated prohibition a catalyst for the Bolshevik Revolution? Could the Soviet Union have become a world
power without liquor? How did vodka politics contribute to the collapse of both communism and public health in the
1990s? How can the Kremlin overcome vodka's hurdles to produce greater social well-being, prosperity, and democracy into
the future?
  
  Viewing Russian history through the bottom of the vodka bottle helps us to understand why the
"liquor question" remains important to Russian high politics even today-almost a century after the issue had been put to
bed in most every other modern state. Indeed, recognizing and confronting vodka's devastating political legacies may be
the greatest political challenge for this generation of Russia's leadership, as well as the next.
