7.05. The law, funeral USSR
1985
Taki sho I'll tell you - if you have a strong desire to hurt the people of the country in particular and the whole country together - it is necessary to enter the dry law.
So on, May 7, 1985 the Council of Ministers of the former socialist leader took an interesting decision about "Sobriety - the norm." We can not say sho slogan of a wrong or strong drink - the engine of progress. But there were at least two unpleasant moment, which somehow was not accepted to speak, his voice rising.
Well, first of all - strongly negative effects of such experiments. You can take even the classics of the genre - the United States, where, after the adoption of the Eighteenth amendment January 17, 1920 began a quiet horror in the criminal sphere. Well you know, if Shaw is the law, failure to comply with which gives a good gesheft, it still will not run. Shaw and fixed gentlemen from the Ministry of Justice - New York - 95% non-compliance, San Francisco - 85%, and in such a spirit. Clearly, this sho tax gesheft not taxed, that is, for the Treasury - by cash. And a pleasant American heritage as a gangster clans - out of the 20's, when most of them rose up and organized. It was on anything. And there's the big question: would the Great Depression took place, if the law was not
? If too lazy to go away - is the example of the same Suomi, which is next door, and until 1917 was part of the Empire. So they, too, experimented with this issue - from 1 June 1919. Shaw is the result? Smuggling, pale, moonshine, 80% of criminal acts - violation of Prohibition. Finns stubborn, resisting obvious 13 years, but in 1932 still have not sustained, and held a referendum canceled this fresh-water sponge.
It is a historical component. I promised about two very inconvenient time. Well this is about the national peculiarities of the laws. That sho moonshine started to drive in a totally insane amount - a fact Stopudoviy. Moonshine rivet any locksmith, whose hands were a little bit sharpened by profession. I know myself in production at the time worked. Recipes invented such sho could well add to the treasury of Ostap Bender, his famous "taburetovka" in this list of the top not passed.
But the most infamous - cut down the vineyards. Under the root. That was not even in the period of occupation. People kill themselves - and it is never funny.
In 1990 he went on the Crimean mountains with a curious man, an expert on local history. He showed me the top spot vineyard: "He is those - old Shaw was saved. A different color - new. Not that. Immediately specific grounds, not just grapes survives. A to the Decree on the Sotheby's "Black Doctor" of these places left in pieces of tanks for a bottle ... »
Shaw got on the exhaust? What was said above for the moonshine vodka incriminating Sea, 1986 - minus 12 billion rubles, in 1987 - minus 7 billion. And because of the Short-changing in growing grapes missed another 6, 8 billion. In Afghanistan, at that time are stuck at the most can not, and this, sorry for the cynicism, the extra expense of the economy, and have not much high-tech, hake and screamed as diesel in the Arctic.
And then came 1991 and the first disturbing familiarity with hyperinflation ...
