Since I can’t trust AtW to write anything positive about his homeland I will step in.
The BBC is extremely biased in the reporting of Russia and they will sent reporters thousands of miles to pick up on one small negative report.
There are some alcoholics who will drink anything, you don’t need to go to Russia to find that out just look in your local park. Vodka sales are falling drastically in Russian in favour of beer. There are nation campaigns to cut down drinking and especially drink driving The main concern about drinking is young students drinking beer in the streets (just like the UK). Some local authorities have banned the practice.
The BBC is extremely biases with reports on Russia. For example prior to the ascension of the EU, the UK accepted Russian speaking refugees from the Baltic States because they were persecuted. Eg, Russian speaking schools were closed down. The Baltic States were hurriedly allowed in the EU but when the Russian minority protest; the BBC continually blames Moscow for provocation. How would you feel if Ireland banned the use |English language and refused to give citizenship to English speakers?
Conversely when homosexuals from the EU protest illegally in Moscow and the strict church going attack them the BBC say it is the fault of the Russian Government.

'Cologne cocktails' killing men
I've always thought there was something odd about AtW.....Russian men are risking death by drinking aftershave and cleaning agents, a study has suggested.
