Russia - Chechen leader calls for alcohol prohibition in Russia (14.10.2011)

President of Russia’s Chechen republic Ramzan Kadyrov has called for alcohol prohibition in Russia. Russia’s public health chief Gennady Onishchenko backed the idea but said that it was “unachievable.” Onishchenko called for the price of a bottle of strong liquor to be increased to $100. Experts doubt the efficiency of both proposals.
