I've been looking for but have failed to locate a political cartoon in three panels, first panel is a Russian worker with hunched shoulders sitting at a bar with a vodka bottle and the caption "Russia under the Tsars," second panel is identical but the worker is further hunched over and the caption "Russia under Communism," third panel the worker is passed out and the caption "Russia under Democracy."

"In the 1990s, Russia experienced a resurgence of tuberculosis, considered a disease of poverty."
Ummm, no: tb is a medical condition, caused by bacteria. The spread of tb is most likely connected with the collapse of the health care system, as mentioned in the last paragraph of the OP.

Indians very often come on as extremely hierarchical but once you make clear that they need you more than you need them working relationship drastically improves.
Russians OTOH have transformed being arrogant disrespectful SOBs into an art. Too bad for them I don't need them as much as they need me..."Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."

I say it's because of Russian gloominess. Russians have to have the most depressing culture in the world. Their art is all about pessimism, sadness, angst, etc. Nobody leaves a Russian opera whistling the tunes cheerfully, they leave needing a stiff drink...
Russian gloominess? How very intelligent of you. QED.

Found it after Googling "alcoholism in Russia." Don't know how reputable the site is though. Personally, I think it's that they live in Russia, which has got to be the most craptacular place in Europe outside of the Balkans. Actually, maybe even including the Balkans. The climate's terrible, and their government has been an endless chain of jackbooted-thug aristocracies since ten minutes after Cyril and Methodius left.

Culture. I probably know more non-drinking Russians than the rest of you put together.
Think of alcohol the way Americans drink pop. It's ubiquitous.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
