Synopsis
A look at the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe, whose countries are the heaviest drinkers in the world. Vitaliev, a former drinker now teatotaler, attempts to find out why this has not changed with the collapse of communism and the wider availability of books, a free press, travel etc. He examines the peoples' struggles and defiance.

Présentation de l'éditeur
One could assume that with the collapse of communism, East Europeans would drink much less than before: a democratic society should be able to provide many more means of escape than alcohol - books, a free press, foreign travel, high quality consumer goods, etc. The reality however is different and Vitali Vitaliev travels to Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania to find out why. A former drinker, Vitali Vitaliev is now a teetotaler which adds much spice to a narrative brimming with wit, insight and a profound sympathy for the struggles of humanity. Can the former Communist countries of Eastern Europe adjust to the demands of capitalism and adapt to the huge cultural shift it requires? The collapse of the Russian economy suggests not, but Vitali reveals a population vigorously defiant and resolutely colourful in the face of, sometimes, terrible hardship.
Biographie de l'auteur
An award-winning journalist in the old Soviet Union, Vitaliev is now a columnist on the DAILY TELEGRAPH and frequent broadcaster on television and radio. He is the author of LITTLE IS THE LIGHT, BORDERS UP! and DREAMS ON HITLER'S COUCH.
