Funny thing is that this was originally a communist poster trying to break the remnant state fostered alcoholism crisis of the Russian Empire
Stalin reversed the policy of prohibitionism but went a touch further than the Americans when they came off their own prohibition era, instead of just re-legalizing it, he renewed the tsarist policy of monopolizing the production of Vodka as a source of revenue, ensuring the Russian crisis of alcoholism would persist until this very day.
Stalin was not the nicest guy.
