Abstract
The article is devoted to the characterization of alcohol consumption practices in the Russian countryside of the 1900s - 1920s in connection with the metamorphoses of state and social development and the vicissitudes of government policy in the drinking issue. Based on the analysis of various studies and sources, the conclusion is made about the stability of sporadic consumption of alcoholic beverages in the peasant environment and the absence of significant corrections of this drinking model. It is noted that the transformation of the practice of alcohol consumption in the village occurred under the influence of the policy of “raskrestyanivaniye”, which was carried out by the Soviet government since the late 1920s, completely changing the way of life of rural inhabitants.
