If you are referring to being arrested for flying while intoxicated, yes.

Not true. Russians make Vodka, Wodka is usually made in Poland. And Russians also are able to make really bad vodka. The worst isecticide I ever drank was made in Murmansk in early-90s, "ArcticPivo" distillery. Or I'll better call it just a "factory", the stuff probably wasn't distilled.

And please, don't generalise, some Russians even drive cars.

Hmm, Estel sometimes rides with his Saiga (a .410 caliber semiauto Kalashnikov) under his seat :) You can aslo ask him about flying when drunk ;)

Vodka on the rocks with a mint leaf - it's the worst perversion that I have ever seen... Vodka on the rocks is a perversion, but with a mint leaf it's even worse. Worse then field hockey and ice ballet.

I think Gagarin died drunk flying. Since he was communist hero, he could do whatever he wanted...including getting wasted on vodka and hopping in he`s mig15..

It was a popular rumour here, since noone cared to disclose the investigation results. Another rumour is that he's still alive in some mental clinic where he was put because he almost turned dissident after Komarov's crash.

There was absolutely no way that a man of his scale could be allowed to fly drunk. Another thing is that he didn't drink, he only drank a shot or two in a good company not to offend others, nothing more.

Drinking NOT to offend.... Hell of a culture I came out of.
