1) The nation is perishing due to the wave of alcohol that has engulfed people; the nation is dying because almost every child knows the taste of alcohol by the age of 14. It all starts with the irresponsibility of parents who, on birthdays, New Year's, or any other holiday, give their child champagne, and then this child turns into a completely degraded person by the age of 20.
2) The indulgence of those in power. It is with their tacit consent that advertisements for alcoholic beverages featuring young, attractive people are shown; it is with their help that the alcohol industry has become one of the most profitable businesses in the country.
Regarding point 1, this is exactly what I said in one of my previous posts: upbringing (or rather, the lack thereof), indulgence on the part of all adults (primarily parents), and widespread indifference in society are the main reasons why young people prefer a bottle of beer or a can of gin and tonic to a healthy lifestyle. I don't see any connection to Jews here.
Regarding point 2, I don't know what year your link is from, but it was the people in power who banned alcohol advertising everywhere, including beer, which, starting this year, has been equated with alcohol. They also limited the hours of alcohol sales, strictly regulated the age limit, and restricted the sale of alcohol itself (60% of small retail outlets lost the right to sell strong alcohol, and now also beer). The increase in the price of alcohol, of course, gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, the minimum price of 0.5 liters of vodka at 170 rubles may become unaffordable, especially for teenagers and young people. On the other hand, this will most likely lead to a surge in moonshining and a shift to other, cheaper, and more dangerous substances. But this measure was aimed more at combating counterfeit alcohol products, which accounted for up to 70% of the alcohol market by 2008, rather than at the end consumer. That is, only about 30% of the market was left for legal manufacturers. The KBR, KChR, RSO, and the Moscow region shared the leading position in the production of counterfeit products among themselves, acting as shadow monopolists, and believe me, in the first three of the listed subjects of the federation, this was not done by Jews. If we consider all the measures taken by the state in the fight against alcohol today, it is clear that there are results. Counterfeit vodka from the Caucasus has disappeared from store shelves because it has simply become unprofitable. Of course, counterfeiting has not disappeared completely, but this phenomenon no longer has such a massive and rampant character. As for the end consumer, unfortunately, things are much more complicated: those who drank will continue to drink, and those who don't care about their future and the future of their loved ones will continue to not care. Of course, one can attribute everything to the fact that people live poorly, and that's why they drink, but I personally don't want to agree with this position. Everything I wrote in this post, I know not from hearsay and not from reading it on the internet; I worked in the alcohol distribution market for 7 years and, so to speak, am familiar with the problem from the inside.
