'Living Water': Vodka and Russian Society on the Eve of Emancipation
Christian, David (Senior Lecturer in History, Senior Lecturer in History, Macquarie University, Sydney)
A study of the social, economic and political role of vodka in 19th century Russia. It focuses on the "Great Reforms" of the 1860s, in some ways a parallel period to the glasnost of the 1980s, when vodka went through a transitional period, with the abolition of vodka tax.
