Glorious Mother Russia. Supposedly, it's the coldest place on the planet, and really depressing. The obvious solution to this problem? Booze — and lots of it. So much, in fact, that there's a good chance that any given Russian character in fiction will be The Alcoholic, or at least will look for the slightest excuse to get drunk. They also tend to see green imps rather than Pink Elephants. And they probably have the stout constitution necessary to withstand intoxication, because Mother Russia Makes You Strong. Somewhat Truth in Television; alcoholism is a rather large problem in Russia and is a major contributor to high suicide rates and lowered average male lifespan.note Things were so bad at quite a recent point that it was the lowest of any industrialized nation, though there's a lot more to that than booze. Vodka sales were also a prime source of revenue for the Russian government for much of its history, going as far back as the dawn of Tsarist Russia — the first ruler to use alcohol tax as a major source of revenue was Ivan the Terrible. Many bottles of cheap vodka in Russia came with a paper pull tab rather than a screw-top because (like its owner) it's going to be drunk in one sitting. In fact, aftershave is reported to be marketed in recycled vodka flasks so people don't look cheap while drinking it. Amusingly, the word "vodka" (водка) is actually a diminutive form of the Russian word for "water".note That would be "вода" ("voda", pronounced roughly like "wadda"), which does happen to be cognate with "water". So jokes about Russians "drinking vodka like water" (or not knowing the difference between vodka and water) actually have a grain of truth in them. Also, this trope is sometimes extended to people in former Warsaw Pact countries, partly as a result of cultural osmosis and partly because life just sucked that much. This trope previously was slowly going on its way towards Discredited Trope — not that anyone in the Fictionland has taken the notice, though. Ever since Turn of the Millennium alcohol consumption in Russia was on a steady decline, so much that by some measures Russians drank less than Brits! This was largely due to the country slowly finding its feet again after Soviet collapse, and the people discovering new things to do with their lives instead of drinking it away, and The Government's easing up on the alcohol tax — since 2000 much of the state revenue came from the oil money, not booze, and in The New '10s other industries have increasingly started to become profitable as well, for which the healthy and sober populace is generally a good thing.note We're talking a truly dramatic change here - From 2003 to 2017 the average lifespan of Russian men has increased from 65 to 73 years! However, Russian alcohol consumption has grown after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting loss of Russian international trade has worsened Russian life, making this trope very modern again. |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl features this trope rather blatantly. The game is set in the former USSR (the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine/Belarus to be exact) and if the player's radiation meter gets too high, vodka of all things can be used as a cheap means to rid the body of radiation. Also, while vodka causes the screen to sway and flash white, there is actually no limit to how much your Slavic character can drink. In other words, it is fully possible to load up on over one hundred bottles of vodka, drink them all within ten seconds, and somehow come out of it with no more than a very wobbly screen and repeated flashes of white. After about a minute, the wobbling comes to an abrupt halt and you'll be perfectly fine. Serious intoxication is almost bound to happen in the first game - at one point, you have to raid a bandit base (alone, to boot) to get a key to a nearby underground lab off their leader and if you poke around in the right area can raid their armory. There's nothing too staggeringly awesome in there - they're bandits, not Duty or the Monolith - but if you look in the right box you can find almost thirty bottles of vodka. You have a weight limit of fifty kilograms (of which you'll probably be carrying at least thirty or forty in armor, guns, ammo, medical supplies, food, artifacts, and stuff you looted from the corpses of the bandits you just killed), a bottle of vodka weighs half a kilo apiece, and chances are you'll never be through this area again. Drunkenness (and possibly drunken gunfighting) ensues. In Call of Pripyat, the mechanic in the first area cannot make modifications to your equipment without vodka, even if he has the tools. One drink is a small discount and first tier upgrades, two drinks is a higher discount and all upgrades... and three drinks puts him to sleep for a few hours. He claims it helps him keep his hands steady. May be Drowning His Sorrows over lost friends, too. It crosses over into Drunken Master, although if you find and bring him the PDAs of his buddies and show him the Gauss Rifle, which he worked on in the past, he gets over his alcoholism and joins up with the other technician after the game ends. Subverted in the same game; vodka for some reason depletes your nourishment level and drinking at least six bottles of vodka can actually kill you. Yet this is also amusingly double subverted if you have at least a loaf of bread or other piece of food in your bag as you can munch it up and keep on drinking then rinse-wash-repeat. |

StarCraft: Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov is the resident Russian Guy Suffers Most and has a fondness for vodka. The trailer of Brood War has his superior officer DuGalle telling him his vodka can wait, his portrait in Remastered can be seen sipping from a glass of wine, and one of his lines when clicked on in Heart of the Swarm is pretty much I Need a Freaking Drink. | |

From the Jack Ryan series: Colonel Filitov from The Cardinal of the Kremlin is seen drinking almost every time he appears in one of the books, and mentions that "he wouldn't have gotten sick if he'd had a little more antifreeze." Much of that drinking is to try to forget about his dead family, whose deaths were part of what drove him to become The Mole for the CIA. A lot of other Russian characters in the series are also often seen drinking (with vodka being the tipple of choice), though most of them usually aren't drunk. Alcoholism is a plot-relevant off-"screen" detail in The Hunt for Red October: The wife of the renegade submarine captain Ramius died of complications from appendicitis. The doctor that was to perform the surgery was drunk, and while breathing pure oxygen to try to sober up her appendix burst. The still-inebriated doctor fumbled the surgery to remove the burst organ, resulting in the death of the wife of Ramius. Ramius' dissatisfaction with the Soviet state started at this point, when the surgeon wasn't punished because he was the son of a high-ranking party official. note Some people have complained that the captain of a Soviet ballistic missile submarine is too important a position too let this slip that easily — in a somewhat similar Real Life incident in 1985, when a bunch of drunk Dirty Cops robbed and murdered a KGB officer on the Moscow Metro, the scandal went high enough as to end in the all-powerful Minister of Interior Shelepin's resignation, but the book was written decades before the Iron Curtain came down and the details of the Soviet political life became known to the thriller's authors. |

The Irony of Fate is a Russian romantic comedy from 1976 in which this is crucial to the plot. Zhenya goes out celebrating with his friends after getting engaged. Zhenya's friend Pavlik has to catch a plane, so they take the party to the airport, but everyone gets so drunk that a passed-out Zhenya gets put on the plane instead. After it lands he's too drunk to realize that he's taken a taxi home to the wrong apartment in the wrong city. Hilarity and romance ensue when the woman who lives there comes home. | |

The SCP Foundation uses large quantities of alcohol to contain SCP-4680, formerly Grigori Rasputin, by allowing him to be constantly drunk. To be fair, his version of immortality doesn't allow severed bits to grow back, so he's less than thrilled with the current location of his genitalia. | |

In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, we have Colonel Skowronski, the former commander of the San Hieronymo Soviet Missile Base, who is heavily implied to be drunk in his appearance (he was slurring his words a lot of the time, laughing at seemingly inappropriate times, and Roy Campbell refers to him as a drunk when he calls you right after you locate him). Actually, several of the soldiers on the San Hieronymo Peninsula were implied to drink a lot (one of the calls to Para-Medic, should she be recruited, has her being confused about why they were having headaches at the height they are at as the mountains shouldn't be high enough to cause altitude sickness, until she realizes that they actually had amplified hangovers from drinking too much alcohol at the height they currently were at). It's probably justifiable that they did so, considering the fact that their nation essentially screwed them over by abandoning them at the peninsula shortly after they abandoned the construction plans in order to make it seem as though they were renegade Russians. | |

His father wasn't so alcoholic until he was forced out of the US by Howard Stark for trying to profit off the Arc Reactor research. After that he turned to alcohol to numb the pain of being forced to live out his days in Siberia and died a drunken mess. | |

Metal Gear: Granin from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The game even takes place in the USSR, so it's not as though this was the one Russian character in the cast.

Happens a lot in KanColle fanfic and fan comics, with the usual suspect being the formerly-Japanese, now Soviet destroyer Verniy. Examples include Yua's Fleet Journal, Ido's long-running untitled comic, and CV12Hornet's Things Involving Shipgirls That Are No Longer Allowed. (Note that Verniy's original characterization has nothing to do with alcohol in general or vodka in particular.) | |

Played to the hilt in the final level of Destroy All Humans! 2, where Crypto has to sabotage a Soviet / alien alliance, but every argument he has falls flat, until he gets desperate and yells the last thing he can think of: "They're takin' away your vodka!" The assembled cosmonauts are horrified and outraged, immediately turning on their alien allies en masse. The map "Gorod Krovi" has his Good Counterpart from an alternate dimension encountering this version, as well as puts a Harsher in Hindsight spin on this alcoholism; Nikolai, despite his stories of his many, many wives, only ever had one. After she was killed in a bombing, he turned to vodka and his mental state declined until that was all he knew. |

Another example from Russia/the Soviet Union is 1980's Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Gurin the hockey player is a teetotaler in 1958, but after the 20-year Time Skip he's a raging alcoholic. His wife blames his alcoholism on all the hockey fans that kept foisting drinks on him. | |

SCTV had an episode constantly being hacked by Soviet TV - an ad for vodka, that played like a Western beer commercial, shows a model worker relaxing at a bar with his friends after his shift, but as a responsible citizen of the State, he quits after one drink, in contrast to "the decadent Uzbeks", seen in a boorish, drunken daze. This is one of several examples seen of Uzbeks being held up as state-sanctioned targets. | |

In the 1935 version of Anna Karenina, Vronsky and his buddies engage in a drinking game in which each soldier has to take three shots and then crawl under the table from one end to another. And then again, and again, and again. After he wins by virtue of being the last person not passed out on the floor, Vronsky staggers over to his buddy Stiva and says "Now we can settle down and do some drinking." | |

When The Boys go to Russia, they stay with a Russian ex-superhero who drinks some unholy abomination home-made liquid that no one (but Hughie) drinks- they just toss it back over their shoulders. We later learn it's not vodka, it's made with, among others, tank brake fluid. And Hughie grows to like the stuff. Vas claims at one point, when he and Hughie are the only ones to not go down from a poison that was somehow killed by the stuff, that "this shit would probably kill AIDS virus." | |

Lilya from Reverse: 1999 is an Ace Pilot from Russia alongside being an Arcanist capable of using magic. Almost all of her dialog is about drinking, getting a drink, or offering others a drink regardless of whatever is happening, her drink of choice is vodka, and even the game's stats page lists her magical medium as "Vodka." It's heavily implied she's never really sober, even when flying her rocket-propelled broomstick in combat. | |

Moscow - Petushki. While many Russian writers try to subvert or avert this one-dimensional stereotype, Venedikt Yerofeyev, who modelled the protagonist after himself, plays it painfully straight, and with good reasons. Although vodka was not the protagonist's main tipple. What he usually drank was worse—in some cases, possibly even dangerous. Although all of the recipes in the book should be essentially harmless—if you consider drinks with over 50% alcohol harmless. | |

Nearly every character in Chernobyl drinks a lot of vodka. Early on a character (who is admittedly a secondhand "expert") claims that the treatment for radiation exposure is a glass of vodka per hour for the next few hours. The army (and conscripted) liquidators sent to the region are also provided with free vodka to numb them up from shooting pets so that they wouldn't die of radiation poisoning or contaminate areas outside the exclusion zone, evicting people from homes, and the other physically and emotionally grueling duties they had to undertake. At the top, Boris Shcherbina always seems to have a bottle and a glass ready to hand. However, two of the real life Russian miners on this Sky News report clearly felt this trope was being taken too far: | |

Alcoholism is a plot-relevant off-"screen" detail in The Hunt for Red October: The wife of the renegade submarine captain Ramius died of complications from appendicitis. The doctor that was to perform the surgery was drunk, and while breathing pure oxygen to try to sober up her appendix burst. The still-inebriated doctor fumbled the surgery to remove the burst organ, resulting in the death of the wife of Ramius. Ramius' dissatisfaction with the Soviet state started at this point, when the surgeon wasn't punished because he was the son of a high-ranking party official. note Some people have complained that the captain of a Soviet ballistic missile submarine is too important a position too let this slip that easily — in a somewhat similar Real Life incident in 1985, when a bunch of drunk Dirty Cops robbed and murdered a KGB officer on the Moscow Metro, the scandal went high enough as to end in the all-powerful Minister of Interior Shelepin's resignation, but the book was written decades before the Iron Curtain came down and the details of the Soviet political life became known to the thriller's authors. | |

Both Hanayo and Eli realize that Eli needs to do something about her illness however Eli prefers to shove it under the rug and keep it a secret. This comes to a head when Eli beats Hanayo so badly due to mistaking her for cheating that the police are called in, she's arrested, Hanayo is put in the hospital for a concussion, and their friends learn of their issues. Afterwards Hanayo tells Eli that she either needs to go to rehab or she'll press charges, and the two take a break from their relationship. | |

From The Three Stooges: In the short The Three Stooges: "Grips, Grunts and Groans", there is the Russian-sounding wrestler Ivan Bustoff that enjoys his cocktails of "vodka, tequila, and cognac". One plot point has the Stooges try to keep him sober before a big fight. In Dunked in the Deep, Mr. Borscht (who is a spoof of Alger Hiss) drinks very strong vodka. One segment has Shemp have a shot — and steam blew from his ears and almost knocked him out. Moe and Larry tossed aside their drinks when Borscht wasn't looking — and saw the vodka destroy the wallpaper it struck. |

While Zangief from Street Fighter goes for a different huge Russian stereotype, those who look closely at his home stage in either Street Fighter II or Super SFII will immediately notice that at least two people in the crowds are chugging down on bottles of what seems to be vodka. Zangief himself pulls out a bottle in one of his win poses in Street Fighter Alpha 3, then proceeds to chug and spit out fire. | |
