In this episode we will be looking into the effects of a nation that battles with a chronic addiction that lasts to this present day. How a country has allowed a substance to be its crutch and how it has also ravaged their population, putting many in an early grave much to the dismay and concern of the government. Russia has a long and complicated history with the devil's juice and aside from their strict communist regime it may be their worst enemy yet as it continues to have the whole nation in a chokehold. We discuss the consequences of ingraining the long and unhealthy consumption of this substance into the very fabric of society, what the country is doing now and if they will ever be able to fight their demons. Check out our website: https://www.thecuriouspodcast.blog/
