    well, they did not do that because of benevolence or positive effects on society, they did it because the state was run on alcohol and held the monopoly to the sale. on the other hand, there was an active ongoing attempt of the UK/US to flood Russia with heroin, so the leadership wouldn’t want foreign gangsters to earn money on their soil. i think this was more crimethink and counter-intelligence rather than based on human rights or socioeconomic ideals.

      i might add, that christian inflicted alcohol monopolies and drug prohibitions are a CHRISTIAN dogma, not a communist/socialist one. plz resume downvoting…
