Russian leaders have quite a reputation for heavy dring, at least from Stalin forward. The header seems to imply that Putin is not like that. Anybody know if that's true?

Is this supposed to be an incentive?Originally posted by KrazyHorse View PostSay that to me when I'm drunk and I'll either kiss you or smack you.

Quite the opposite. I've been told that many Russian women see Putin as the ideal man. He doesn't drink, and he sure doesn't beat his women while drunkOriginally posted by Blaupanzer View Post
There's even a number of (cheesy and utter ****e) bands praising his sobriety.
By the way, I read in the paper today that during the last year of Jeltsin's mandate Putin kept the fat drunk isolated in his Datsja, near keeping him locked up so he couldn't screw up his succession. A dick move, but pretty smart

I thought that Gorbachev didn't drink, and apparently neither did Andropov.Originally posted by Blaupanzer View Post
Putin, or whoever does his PR, is likely contrasting himself to Yeltsin's gangster populism. When did the Soviet anti-alcohol campaign end btw? Was it ended by Yeltsin or before?Comment

Zamir, from No Reservations is a pretty crazy Russian that might be fun to hang out with. Seems a lot like Yeltsin though.Comment
