Good to see you after these years! 
Meanwhile, Russia has just become world's leading grain exporter, supplanting USA:

Grains make up the bulk of Russia's agricultural output because storage is easy and it lasts a long time so poor transport doesn't matter. Btw, US wheat production is some 33% lower today than in 2005 mainly because soy bean prices remain so high that farmers have switched over to cash in while wheat prices have remained in the toilet for a decade plus. You have found a sector nobody else wanted due to low margins and low prices, congratulations, I guess.
You guys are exporting low value agricultural goods and importing high value agricultural goods thus your continuing agricultural deficit. If you guys were smart you'd grow less low value stuff and try to produce higher value stuff but that take skill, logistics, and efficient processing facilities all of which are in short supply in Russia. It would take a lot of time, capital, and hard work to do that and it remains to be seen if Putin will do more than talk.

Anyway, while Russians do drink, it is only in the foreign guest's eyesight they do so 100% of time.
Yes comrades, is Western CIA USA LIE !
Korea in the top 5 just blew my mind, And what is wrong with Estonia ? I mean Russia has a vodka problem and it is pretty bad, I guess as Russian its probably part of their culture and they dont blink an eye when it comes to drinking vodka like water. They dont call Ivan crazy for nothing
Russia is quite literally drinking itself to death
More than 30% of all deaths in Russia in 2012 were attributable to alcohol, according to WHO data crunched by the OECD. That’s by far the highest among the nations it tracked.
The result? Russians live some of the shortest lives in any large economy. Life expectancy for a Russian man was roughly 65 years in 2012, compared to 76 years for the US and 74 for China.
Part of the reason is cultural. Hard drinking has long been a Russian habit. A paper published in 2013 found that relatively high levels of alcohol-related deaths can be found in Russian data going back to the late 19th century.
a glimpse at the chart above shows just what a tragic outlier Russia remains

Is it good or bad? And what kind of high value agricultural goods you propose Russia to export - why wheat grain not good enough?
Thank you, though it doesn't look like you really appreciate the news.
But we are just stupid Russians, we can't be as smart as our American mentors
I tried but was never able to find anything on etymology of one of the words we use for dog in Serbo-Croatian.
Кер (male dog)
Керуша (female dog)
In latin script it would be ker and kerusha (keruša).
Anything similar in Russian or Ukrainian?

Might have something to do with having been a part of Russia for ~250 out of last ~300 years...
Wouldn't dream of trying
Although my personal favorite is the fishing one.

There's no addiction to Russian language, there IS addiction to ethanol.
According to the Wiktionary entry on ker, it is a shortened form of kerber eventually from kerberos.
