Onishchenko: It is necessary to revive the LTP

The chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko proposes to return the forced treatment of patients with alcoholism, which existed in Soviet times, Interfax reports. "We need to consider the issue of the forced treatment of alcoholics. Those treatment and labor dispensaries that were in Soviet times should be restored on a new basis," Onishchenko said at the Congress of the Church and Public Council to Protection from the Alcohol Threat.

Onishchenko also proposed introducing a new criterion for assessing the work of governors, taking into account the number of alcohol consumers and "alcohol mortality" in the regions that they lead.

The Council urged the country's leadership to take a complex of emergency measures to combat alcoholism. The appeal to the members of the Federal Assembly was read out by the co -chair of the Council Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov. It is proposed to create public-state advice on protection against alcohol threat under the President of the Russian Federation and the heads of the constituent entities of the Federation, as well as to conduct research on the effectiveness of anti-alcohol policy measures.

On January 27, Onishchenko called "blasphemy and sacrilege" the proposal of football fans to return the possibility of drinking beer at stadiums during sports matches. "They could not offer more blasphemy. In the temple of health, which is any sports structure, they offer to return pagan sacrilege. I am sure that there will be no decisions to return the mass soldering of our population," Onishchenko said at the congress of the health league.

According to Onishchenko, the request to return the beer to the stadiums are not specific fans, but business structures that are engaged in the sale of alcohol. "We must really evaluate that this is not only the desire of individual unconscious fans, there are huge money, huge forces. The money of the alcohol mafia, the tobacco mafia," he said. The head of the Ministry of Health and Social Development Tatyana Golikova previously turned to Putin with a request not to allow drinking beer at sports stadiums.

With a request to return beer to the stadiums, football fans turned to the Prime Minister. Putin promised to consider the possibility of returning beer - in the form of a drink and advertising of beer companies. The question of this was raised by one of the football fans. "How do you look at the return of beer to the stadiums? Because it will not necessarily entail massive alcoholism, it is not the fact that it will certainly be a riot in stadiums. In all countries of the world and Europe, there is nothing in this," he said.

Putin said that you might think about it, and recalled that the priority in resolving this issue is an obligation to FIFA. “Well, yes. We need to know the norm: I drank my three liters and calmed down, and it’s enough. Naturally, we will have to follow the rules that FIFA outlined. We take certain obligations. When the decision was made about the stadiums, we, of course, proceeded from the best motives. Let's go back and think,” said Putin.
