“Since February, people have relieved stress in this way. Ministers, their deputies, even some deputy prime ministers, employees of the presidential administration and the Security Council, some heads of state corporations, governors,” the sources revealed. .

The main cause of stress is Russia’s losses in the war against Ukraine and sanctions, one of the sources admitted.

Meanwhile, two other sources said that Russia’s problems at the front did not affect the officials’ attitude towards alcohol, because “they have their problems and their war there.”
