The dark side

The dark side

There is a severe alcohol problem in Russia. You can buy beer and vodka anywhere, in fact beer apparently isn't even classed as alcohol. You see people walking about with bottles of vodka even in the morning - there are loads of drunks. This lot were partying on a side street off Arbat. Not particularly rowdy but pretty slaughtered nevertheless. I love the grafitteed wall. The new SUV is a typical contrast of modern Russia - rich and poor.
