Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his government to curb rising vodka prices.
Mr Putin, who has been hit by increasing economic woes, said that high prices encouraged the consumption of illegal and possibly unsafe alcohol.
Russia's currency, the rouble, has lost value recently due to falling oil prices and Western sanctions.
The country's former finance minister warned that Russia would enter recession next year.
