The rating of the most drinking regions of Russia has been compiled. The most "drinking" and the "most sober" regions of Russia Rating of regions by alcohol consumption

Since ancient times, people have been engaged in practices that allow you to change the state of consciousness. Drinking alcohol is one such practice. It is not difficult to imagine the rationale for the very first experience with alcohol - curiosity. Perhaps one of our ancestors ate the fermented fruit and felt a pleasant sensation that piqued his curiosity. Curiosity is still a common reason to try alcohol these days.

The organization "Sober Russia" and the Expert and Analytical Center at the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation have identified the most curious ... that is, the most drinking regions of Russia. It turned out that residents of Chechnya, Ingushetia, Dagestan, Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria are least susceptible to the spell of the green snake. According to Natalia Milchakova, deputy director of the analytical department at Alpari, the low consumption of alcohol in the North Caucasian republics is explained by the wide spread of Islam.

And most of all they like to "lay by the collar" in the Magadan region, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Komi, Amur and Perm regions.

Sobriety rating of subjects of Russia 2016

In comparison with the employees of Sober Russia, they significantly expanded the number of criteria by which the rating was prepared. The criteria included:

• the number of deaths from alcohol poisoning;
• the number of alcoholics;
• the number of crimes that were committed by drunk people.

Last year, when the top of sobriety was first created, the compilers took into account only the volume of sales of vodka and beer. And in 2016, they added to their number: cognac products, champagne, wines, mead, liqueur and other alcoholic beverages.

Readers can ask a reasonable question: who needs a rating of the most sober and most drinking regions of the Russian Federation and why? There are three reasons for this.

1. The researchers were faced with the task of contributing to a more effective implementation of state policy to reduce alcohol abuse and prevent alcoholism among Russians.
2. Also, the rating can help more effective regulation of the alcoholic beverages market.
3. The rating will be useful in assessing the performance of the heads of regions. According to the head of Sober Russia, Sultan Khamzaev, the list can help to find out how successfully officials are working to improve the health of citizens and the social climate of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

November 27, 2017

The federal project "Sober Russia" and the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) carried out a joint expert and analytical study, the result of which was the independent report "National Sobriety Rating of Subjects of the Russian Federation - 2017" (hereinafter - "Sobriety Rating of Regions - 2017").

The Regions Sobriety Rating - 2017 was prepared in order to provide the society, state authorities and local authorities with an independent and objective picture of the level of alcohol consumption and its consequences.

The objective of the study is to improve the effectiveness of state policy to reduce the abuse of alcoholic products, to prevent alcoholism among the population of the country, as well as to improve the regulation of the alcohol market, aimed at protecting the health of citizens of the Russian Federation.

Previously, similar ratings of sobriety of regions were prepared, presented and published two previous years: in 2015 and 2016. Therefore, today, thanks to the implementation of regular expert public monitoring of the state of regional anti-alcohol policy, it became possible for the first time to trace the three-year dynamics of “sobriety” of each of the regions of the Russian Federation in a systematic and unbiased manner. For the first time, the public is offered a unique socio-sociological study - a three-year monitoring of the dynamics of the "sobriety" of the regions for 2015-2017.

Today, human capital and the health of the nation are becoming the main guarantors of the sovereignty and national security of the Russian Federation. The issues of "sobriety" of the regions determine the level of health of the citizens of the Russian Federation. Comparative monitoring of the "sobriety" of the regions for 2015-2017 for the first time reveals the vector and degree of care of the regional authorities about the population, indicating to them, in particular, where and what needs to be corrected.
The Regions Sobriety Rating - 2017 is the only independent public report on the real state of anti-alcohol policy in the Russian Federation in the context of each of the subjects.

The dynamics of the "sobriety" of the regions over the past 3 years indicates that the anti-alcohol policy is changing, strengthening and progressing precisely in those subjects whose leadership actively takes into account the negative results of the annual public monitoring and, seriously caring about the health of the population, significantly corrects the regional anti-alcohol legislation.

The Regions Sobriety Rating 2017 is a scientifically grounded independent report prepared by a team of specialists: experts, sociologists, lawyers, economists, historians, psychologists and journalists, who not only analyzed, summarized and systematized large amounts of data from regional and federal statistics, but also comprehended the current situation and developed a set of measures for its timely and scientifically grounded adjustment.

According to the results of a study of Russian regions, Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan were again recognized as the most "sober" regions in 2017. Buryatia, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Magadan Oblast were among the heaviest drinkers.

* - without changes

Sultan Khamzaev, Head of the Federal Project "Sober Russia":

“The main task of the annual“ Rating of Sobriety of Regions -2017 ”is to absolutely independently and objectively assess the real anti-alcohol policy, as well as its consequences in each of the regions of our country. In fact, this rating is an urgent serious public examination of the specific work of each of the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the systemic protection of the health of citizens of a particular region from the alcohol threat. We expect that this analytical work will help regional chiefs find effective measures, ways and methods to correct the current situation and radically improve the social climate in their constituent entities. "

Eduard Petrov, Deputy Director - Head of the Legal Programming Service, DIP Vesti, State Television Channel Rossiya:

“Journalists of the Vesti program legal service, together with the Sober Russia federal project, have visited several regions of our country - from Kaliningrad to Primorye. Reporters saw with their own eyes how local law enforcement agencies are fighting counterfeit alcohol, as well as infamous tinctures such as Hawthorn. We looked at how the regional sobriety rating reflects the real situation in the regions of Russia. The uniqueness of the project is that the correspondents of the Vesti. The duty unit "is not only guided by the numbers, but also verifies the facts on their own, conducting their own investigations."

Comparative monitoring for 2015-2017 for the first time reveals and clearly shows the vector and degree of care of the regional authorities about the population, indicating to them, in particular, where and what needs to be corrected.

The most important criteria for assessing the degree of sobriety of regions and the associated social tension were chosen as the basis for compiling the "Rating of Sobriety of Regions - 2017". When compiling the rating, the following 6 criteria were used:

1. A1: "The number of deaths by main classes and individual causes of death (alcohol poisoning) / data for 2016 /".
2. A2: "The number of patients registered in medical institutions with a diagnosis of alcoholism and alcoholic psychosis / data at the end of 2015 /".
3. A3: "The number of crimes committed by persons in a state of alcoholic intoxication (unit) / data for 2016 /".
4. A4: "Regional volume of all sold alcoholic beverages in liters of pure alcohol / data for 2016 /".
5. A5: "The number of offenses related to the illegal production and circulation of ethyl alcohol and alcoholic beverages (unit) / data for 2016 /".
6. A6: “The strength of the regional anti-alcohol legislation,” was calculated on the basis of two sub-indicators A6.1. "Number of hours of ban on the sale of alcohol per day" and A6.2. "The number of days in 2016 when the sale of alcoholic beverages is completely prohibited."

The current "Regions Sobriety Rating - 2017" analyzed the sales volume of 12 types of alcoholic beverages, by analogy with the 2016 rating, but in contrast to the 2015 rating, which analyzed the sales of only 2 types (beer and vodka). For the second year in a row, the expert team, in order to increase objectivity and representativeness, took into account the volume of sales of all types of alcoholic beverages for which official statistics were available. Moreover, each of the types of alcoholic beverages was studied separately, and then was combined into one criterion A4 "Sale of alcoholic beverages in liters of pure alcohol per capita." In 2017, the volume of sales for the following types of alcoholic beverages was taken into account:
1. Vodka.
2. Liqueurs and spirits with an ethyl alcohol content of up to 25%.
3. Liqueurs and spirits with an ethyl alcohol content of over 25%, cognac and cognac drinks.
4. Cognac and cognac drinks.
5. Wine (natural).
6. Sparkling wines (champagne).
7. A wine drink produced without the addition of ethyl alcohol.
8. Wine drink made with the addition of ethyl alcohol.
9. Wines liqueur, fruit and others.
10. Cider, Poiret, Mead.
11. Beer.
12. Beverages based on beer.

The value of indicators A1, A2, A3 and A5 was used in the form given per 100 thousand population for each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The value of the A4 indicator was used in the form given per capita of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, and the sub-indicators A6.1. and A6.2. were used in absolute form.
All data for each region, on the basis of which this rating was compiled, in 2017 was taken from open sources of Rosstat and statistics from relevant departments.

1. Data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat).
2. Statistical data of the Federal Service for the Regulation of the Alcohol Market (Rosalkogolregulirovanie).
3. Data from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
4. Data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
5. Central statistical database - an integrated information resource containing information on the main
sections of statistics.
6. Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System (EMISS) - official statistical information,
formed by the subjects of official statistical accounting within the framework of the Federal plan of statistical work.

The team of the Federal project "Sober Russia", as measures to improve the anti-alcohol policy in the Russian Federation, proposes to act within the framework of the following anti-alcohol social initiatives already formed and supported by society in 2017:

- promotion of the legislative mechanism for the introduction of age restrictions on the sale of alcoholic beverages from the age of 21 ("Law-21");

- mustache the adoption of a federal legislative ban on the sale of alcoholic energy drinks based on the results of successful regional legislative practice;

Improving the work of regional executive authorities to combat counterfeit and alcohol surrogate;
- development of regional systems "Sports within walking distance";
- intensification of activities for the development of regional "Social elevators" for young people;
- socially responsible regulation of the alcohol market (balance of excise taxes and punitive measures in the interests of public health, and not the financial benefits of alcohol cartels);
- tightening of liability in the field of illegal circulation of alcoholic beverages, by establishing tenfold property liability of the offender to the amount of violations identified;
- systemic development of a unified, clear, effective federal anti-alcohol state policy (coordinated socially responsible approach of ministries and departments, subjects of legislative initiative);
- improvement of measures for the prevention of alcohol consumption ("Lesson of sobriety" of the Federal project "Sober Russia");
- introduction of rehabilitation standards for persons suffering from alcohol addiction (rehabilitation standards developed by the Independent Narcological Guild);
- improving the institution of public control, including in the field of public inspections of the turnover of alcoholic beverages.

The team of the Federal Project "Sober Russia" is ready to provide the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with expert support in developing high-quality measures in the field of protecting the health of Russian citizens from alcohol.

Many people associate drunkenness with a primordially Russian trait, but this opinion is far from being true. There are regions in Russia in which people are not too fond of alcoholic beverages, but along with them there are also subjects of the federation that are less prosperous in this regard, in which a large part of the population suffers from alcoholism.

The rating of the most drinking regions of the Russian Federation is compiled annually. The selection is based on a number of criteria, which include the volume of sales of alcoholic beverages, the number of offenses related to the illegal production of alcoholic beverages, the number of crimes motivated by alcohol intoxication, mortality from alcohol consumption and the number of people suffering from alcoholism.

In this article, we will look at the most drinking regions of Russia and will tell you more about the alcoholic environment in each of them.

The leader in the selection of the most drinking cities of the Russian Federation was the Magadan Region, which is part of the Far Eastern Federal District. The most acute social problem in these parts is precisely alcoholism, which has acquired incredible proportions in recent years.

The indicators of economy, culture, spirituality and morality, as well as demography, were sharply reduced against the background of the increased level of alcoholism. At the moment, drunkenness is a national disaster here. The number of calls to a narcologist is simply off the charts. The criminal situation has also worsened. The lion's share of crimes were committed while intoxicated.

2 - Chukotka Autonomous District

For several years now, the local authorities have been taking various measures to combat the massive abuse of alcoholic beverages, but they not only do not save the situation, but do not seem to affect it at all. Despite all efforts, the alcoholic situation in Chukotka is only getting worse every year. The level of local alcoholism is called unacceptable and monstrous.

However, the authorities are not giving up and are improving the system for issuing licenses for the sale of alcohol, taking measures to identify illegal outlets and tightening the punishment for the illegal sale of alcohol-containing products. For this, special departments were even created to carry out these tasks.

For the illegal sale of alcohol here you can even get a fine of 200,000 rubles, and if you lose your license, you can be punished.

3 - Komi Republic

From 2015 to 2017, it was planned to carry out the activities provided for in the plan of measures to combat and prevent alcoholism. The document with the resolution on the implementation of this plan was the last document approved in the republic at the regional level.

It is difficult to track the effectiveness of the measures taken, but the statistics speak not in their favor, since in 2016 the situation simply got out of control. The market is dominated by low-quality alcoholic beverages, cases of mass poisoning are observed everywhere, and the number of deaths caused by alcohol intoxication has increased.

Recently, the number of alcohol-related crimes has been growing. Many citizens are registered with a narcologist.

4 - Amur region

The Amur Region also has all the social problems associated with the massive consumption of alcoholic beverages. A striking example is Blagoveshchensk, located in this area. The population of this city is only 220,000 people, while on its territory there are more than 1000 stalls selling alcoholic beverages.

Even though the local authorities take some actions aimed at stabilizing the situation, they do not bring significant results. The sale of alcohol comes under more and more stringent regulation; test purchases are constantly carried out in all outlets and stores. Explanatory work is constantly being carried out in schools and other educational institutions.

5 - Perm Territory

Another region included in the list of the most unfavorable regions in terms of the number of recorded cases of child alcoholism and alcoholic psychosis. According to statistics, there are 11 liters of vodka or 97 liters of beer per inhabitant per year. 60,000 residents of the Perm Territory are registered with a narcologist with a disappointing diagnosis of alcoholism.

Every year more than 500 people die from alcohol, and 1/6 of this number are children. Based on the data of sociological surveys, 56% of boys and 72% of girls start drinking alcohol at the age of 14. Every year 10,000 crimes committed while intoxicated are committed.

6 - Republic of Karelia

Both local narcologists and doctors have long sounded the alarm here, but the situation continues to spiral out of control. 50% of local chronic alcoholics are people between the ages of 20 and 40, and one third of all alcoholics are women. It is also sad that a large share of alcoholic beverages on the local market is of clandestine origin.

7 - Republic of Buryatia

According to statistical reports, every hundredth inhabitant of Buryatia suffers from alcoholism. Children's alcoholism is incredibly widespread here, which school teachers explain by the lack of places to spend quality leisure time. It is worth noting that the region is characterized by low temperatures, so there are often cases of frostbite in a state of alcoholic intoxication. Constant checks by the authorities have not yet yielded results.

8 - Sakhalin region

Alcoholism is explained here by the low standard of living and culture, unemployment and lack of social stability. As in Karelia, one third of the registered alcoholics are women. Thanks to the large number of private sellers, you can buy an alcoholic drink here at any time of the day. Frequent cases of childhood alcoholism.

9 - Nizhny Novgorod region

Here, mortality is steadily increasing, one way or another associated with the state of alcoholic intoxication. Beer alcoholism is especially thriving, according to the employees of the rehabilitation centers. Cases of adolescent alcoholism are common. There are 65 liters of beer per inhabitant per year.

10 - Kamchatka Territory

The most pressing problem in these places is drunk drivers. Among them, not only civilians are often found, but also representatives of law enforcement agencies, as well as officials. There is also a very high percentage of crimes committed while intoxicated. And the worst thing is that it grows.

However, there is also a positive dynamic - local activists often arrange various flash mobs, agitating people to switch to a healthy lifestyle and refrain from alcohol abuse. Also, the authorities decided to fine parents for the case of their children drinking alcoholic beverages.

According to the results of a study of Russian regions, Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan were again recognized as the most "sober" regions in 2017. Buryatia, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Magadan Oblast were among the heaviest drinkers.

"The main task of the annual" Rating of sobriety of regions-2017 "is to absolutely independently and objectively assess the real anti-alcohol policy, as well as its consequences in each of the regions of our country, - said the head of the federal project" Sober Russia "Sultan Khamzaev. in fact, this rating is an urgent serious public examination of the specific work of each of the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the systemic protection of the health of citizens of a particular region from the alcohol threat.We expect that this analytical work will help regional leaders find effective measures, ways and methods to correct the current situation cardinal improvement of the social climate in their constituent entities. "

The organizers of the project emphasize that the people and health of the nation are becoming the main guarantors of the sovereignty and national security of Russia, and the issues of sobriety of the regions determine the level of health of citizens. Comparative monitoring for 2015-2017 for the first time reveals and clearly shows the vector and degree of care of the regional authorities about the population, indicating to them, in particular, where and what needs to be corrected.

The main goal of the study was to show an independent and objective picture of the level of alcohol consumption and the consequences of this, the effectiveness of state policy to reduce the abuse of alcoholic products, prevent alcoholism among the population, as well as improve the regulation of the alcohol market aimed at protecting the health of citizens.

For the first time, a three-year monitoring of the dynamics of sobriety of regions for 2015-2017 is presented. The dynamics of the "sobriety" of the regions over the past three years testifies to the fact that the anti-alcohol policy is changing, strengthening and progressing precisely in those subjects whose leadership actively takes into account the negative results of the annual public monitoring and corrects the regional anti-alcohol legislation. So, for example, the Kaluga Region has risen in the ranking by 21 points at once - from 37th place (in 2016) to 16th (in 2017). The Yaroslavl Region (plus 30 rating points and 31st place), Khabarovsk Territory (plus 25 points and 38th place), Karelia (plus 19 points and 61st place) and the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (plus 20 points and 25th place). The worst situation with alcoholism is still in the Magadan region.

Eduard Petrov, Deputy Director, Head of the Legal Programs Department of Vesti State TV Channel, Rossiya TV Channel, says that the journalists of the Vesti program's legal service together with the Sober Russia project have visited several regions, from Kaliningrad to Primorye. we saw with our eyes how local law enforcement agencies are fighting counterfeit alcohol, as well as with such notorious tinctures as "Hawthorn", - he said. - We looked at how the regional sobriety rating reflects the real situation in the regions of Russia. The uniqueness of the project lies in the fact that the correspondents of the Vesti. Duty program not only rely on figures, but also check the facts on their own, conducting their own investigations. "

The 2017 Regions Sobriety Rating is a scientifically grounded independent report prepared by a whole team of specialists. Experts, sociologists, lawyers, economists, historians, psychologists and journalists took part in its compilation. They not only analyzed, summarized and systematized large volumes of data from regional and federal statistics, but comprehended the current situation and developed a set of measures for its timely and scientifically grounded correction.

When compiling this rating, statistical indicators were used, provided by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), the Federal Service for the Regulation of the Alcohol Market (Rosalkogolregulirovanie), the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Statistical Database (an integrated information resource containing information on the main sections of statistics) , The Unified interdepartmental information and statistical system (official statistical information generated by the subjects of official statistical accounting within the framework of the Federal Plan of Statistical Work).

According to the authors of the rating, not only the leading regions deserve special attention, but also those regions that demonstrate positive dynamics over several years of research. The successful practices of these regions require study, popularization and replication as examples of the most effective measures in the field of countering the alcohol threat. It is the active regions, consistently and effectively taking care of the health of their population, that qualitatively better change the situation in the area of ​​countering the alcohol threat, thereby replenishing the list of the most "sober regions", improving the overall situation in Russia as a whole.

At the same time, the positions of the least "sober" regions also retain their positions with insignificant differences, which testifies to the low efficiency of the anti-alcohol policy of the regional authorities. This negative continuity signals the need for urgent action in these regions. The fall of the regions in the ranking is explained not only by the negative values ​​of the indicators. Against the background of successful activity of active regions, passive regions that do not take effective measures to strengthen anti-alcohol policy lose the values ​​of indicators and thereby worsen their position in the ranking - they demonstrate an insufficient level of care for the health of their population. In a number of regions, the liberalization of anti-alcohol legislation, outbreaks of poisoning with alcoholic and alcohol-containing products were noted, which in turn influenced their ranking in the rating.

Conducted an expert-analytical study and compiled an independent "National Sobriety Rating-2017" Federal Project "Sober Russia" and the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK). Similar ratings of "sobriety" of the regions were prepared, presented and published in the previous two years.
