Russia experienced a sharp drop in demand for vodka.
Over the past year, 30 strong alcohol producers have stopped operating in Russia, Kommersant reports.
The main reason is that Russians began to drink less, and the demand for vodka is steadily decreasing. That's why, first of all, small companies that produced only vodka go bankrupt. It was too difficult for them to compete with big brands.
Experts believe that this is not a temporary decline, but a new reality.
