We continue the series of articles devoted to the problem of studying the harm of alcohol on the human body. In this cycle, we bust the sobriety fanatics myths using a scientific approach and authoritative sources, namely internationally recognized peer-reviewed scientific publications.

Today the myth of Professor Vladimir Zhdanov's lectures on the dangers of drinking alcohol will be debunked. The article will use his real words and some excerpts from the famous propaganda commercial "Common Cause", filmed with federal money and broadcast on major Russian TV channels.

Project "Common cause" about the dangers of alcohol

Let's start with the fact that one of the causes of peptic ulcers is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Studies show that alcohol actually protects against this infection.

Also, scientific evidence does not show a risk of developing duodenal ulcers in people who consume more than 30 grams of ethanol per day.

What else is decay? Did the authors go to school? Even there they study this process and know that decay is the decomposition of organic matter under the action of many microorganisms. And this advertisement was riveted with federal money, and they did not even bother to consult with specialists. Apparently they decided not to bother and build their entire argument on ready-made research and lectures by Professor Vladimir Zhdanov.

And this man perfectly knows how to compose fairy tales like walking bacteria, the death of brain cells and their excretion in the urine in the morning, the nation's soldering by Jewish Masons, and so on. Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are harmless children compared to the army of fanatical teetotalers!

If you go to their communities, they are seriously discussing which brands of chocolate contain ethyl alcohol, so that God forbid you don’t buy it. Zhdanovites love topics about how insidious brewers get poor kids drunk, corrupting the nation through cartoons.

And teetotalers do not care that giving children alcohol is generally prohibited by law, and that state policy is aimed at protecting adolescents from alcoholic beverages in every possible way. What soldering can we talk about?

It's amazing how the advertisers didn't bring in earthquakes and movements. air masses. Of course, it is very convenient and reassuring to blame the molecule of ethyl alcohol for all the troubles of people.

You don’t even need to understand the issue in order to identify yourself with a group of fact-resistant jingoistic patriots and teetotalers. The followers of Professor Zhdanov and the Common Cause project do not care about scientific facts, numerous studies and statistics. They easily brush aside all scientific base, replacing it with an extremely convenient thesis that the insidious West is soldering our mother Russia to drink.

And all right, if the Zhdanovites simply didn’t care about the fact that evidence plays a predominant role in science. They are not embarrassed that the reliable harm from tobacco smoking has found scientific confirmation despite the huge number of people who would not want it.

Fans of the lectures of Academician Zhdanov consider themselves obliged to intimidate everyone with horror stories and myths that are simply enchanting in their delusion. They replace knowledge with ideology. And this the purest water fanaticism, akin to religious.

Professor Zhdanov and the problem of the harm of alcohol

It is difficult for Zhdanovites to realize that it is not the use of alcohol itself that is the problem, but precisely the purposeful systematic ABUSE. Moderate consumption is about 50 grams of vodka, 200 grams of wine or half a liter of beer. The accumulation system does not work here, as does misleading false statistics.

If you are not confident in yourself, do not like alcohol products for any reason, if you have already had problems and you cannot stop at all, then it is really better for you to give up alcohol.

As well as if you have a bad heredity, since the tendency to alcoholism is due to a number of genetic characteristics.

Getting drunk on weekends and holidays for the rest of the time of sobriety is really bad idea. Just like any abuse, because it has both negative social and physiological consequences. However, you yourself know this, because such an inscription is found on every bottle of alcoholic beverage!

As for Vladimir Zhdanov and the supporters of the Common Cause project, these people do not fight against drunkenness, but come forward with their own ideology, built on lies and. It is worth working not in the field of fairy tale writing and disinformation, but in the field of developing really working methods based not on the placebo effect.

There are drugs whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven in numerous clinical trials. There are gene therapy techniques that show great promise in laboratory animals. Available rehabilitation centers and programs.

And these methods really work due to the observance of scientific principles. This is not the famous cheating with or looking at and treating her with electric shock, but really working ways to get rid of alcohol addiction.

Alcoholism is a terrible world scourge. In Russia alone, many different crimes occur under the influence of alcohol: from petty hooliganism to robbery and murder. And how many people suffer from various pathologies because of drunkenness?

With this dangerous disease destroying the personality and consciousness of a person, various forces are fighting in Russia: anti-alcohol government programs, private clinics and institutions, etc. Important is the prevention of alcoholism. Among the various figures in the prevention of drunkenness, Professor Zhdanov stands out. Almost all of his works and works tell about alcohol and the harm that it brings to people. His lectures and various programs on the dangers of the "green serpent" consider causes of drunkenness in Russia and the dangers posed by alcohol.

About the activities of Professor Zhdanov

Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov is actively engaged in social activities, travels a lot around the country with his lectures and programs. He speaks to various segments of the population. propaganda healthy lifestyle Zhdanov began his life in the 80s of the twentieth century.

The main goal of the activity of a public professor is aimed at restoring self-consciousness with the help of a sober lifestyle. Russian people. This, in his opinion, can contribute to an increase in the birth rate and quality of life.

The first lecture on the dangers of alcohol by Professor Zhdanov, which was called "Lies and Truth about Alcohol", was published in 1983. With this lecture on alcohol, the professor traveled around many big cities THE USSR.

In 1986, Zhdanov's famous report on the dangers of alcoholic products was published. For this work and for his great contribution to strengthening national health, the professor was awarded state awards: the award of the European Academy Natural Sciences named after Erlich and the medal of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences named after Mechnikov.

In 1988, Zhdanov began to conduct courses based on the method of the physiologist G. Shichko. These lessons were first distributed on audio and video cassettes, then on disks, and later on the Internet.

In 2008, V. G. Zhdanov was elected chairman of the "Union of Struggle for Universal National Sobriety", and in 2009 he participated in the television project of the First Channel "Common Cause". This program addressed the acute problems associated with alcoholism: an increase in mortality, a decrease in the birth rate, an increase in crime among people who abuse alcohol, as well as an increase in the total number of children born to people who use alcohol.

Zhdanov's activity is supported not only public organizations but also religious services.

The materials, facts, arguments, reasoning and video of Zhdanov-professor about alcohol, about the dangers of alcohol-containing products are shocking. Many people, after getting acquainted with the lessons and lectures, significantly limit the amount of alcohol they consume, and some even refuse to drink alcohol at all.

However, there are also people who find discrepancies in the facts of Zhdanov with official statistics. But in any case, activity professor leaves no one indifferent.

What is the professor talking about?

Zhdanov's audience consists of people representing all segments of the population, different ages and all kinds of professions. The professor in his lectures tries to convey to the audience what danger and risk the use of alcohol-containing products brings. Zhdanov's speech is simple and understandable, it does not contain concepts and formulations that are difficult to perceive. The professor is accessible and easily operates with statistical data.

Zhdanov's activities are not limited to conversations and lectures. He makes documentaries that are broadcast on television and used for educational purposes in schools. Purposeful work with schools is carried out by the professor due to the exacerbation of teenage alcoholism, which is steadily growing.

Stages of alcohol addiction according to Zhdanov

Zhdanov distinguishes three stages of dependence on alcoholic products:

Problems also occur in intellectual abilities, however, an alcoholic, ignoring all the accumulated problems, steadily continues to increase consumed alcohol. This is a consequence of the fact that drinking man at this stage, he cannot reach the level of intoxication and euphoria that he easily achieved at the first stage.

At the last stage, alcoholism can be cured only with the direct intervention of trained physicians. Thanks to them, you can reduce the negative impact of alcohol.

The main causes of alcohol addiction

Zhdanov draws attention to 5 main reasons, pushing a person into the "embrace of the green serpent":

Life below the poverty line.
Surrounding social environment.
Folk traditions and customs.
Long term stress.
Decrease in the level and quality of life.

Speaking about national traditions, Zhdanov notes that although no holiday in our country is complete without alcohol, people can have a good time, relax and have fun without it. And the presence of holiday tables alcohol often causes scandals and fights.

In his lectures, the professor encourages people break free from outdated traditions imposing the use of alcohol during celebrations.

The theory of "Russian Cross" by Professor Zhdanov

Speaking about the negative impact of alcohol, academician Zhdanov puts forward an interesting hypothesis, according to which drinks containing alcohol are used specifically to eradicate the Russian-speaking population and exterminate the culture of the Slavs. As evidence, the professor refers to the statistics of births and deaths of the population. In philosophy and sociology, this theory became known as the "Russian Cross".

V. G. Zhdanov cites data according to which eight out of twelve citizens constantly drink alcohol in our country, and the total amount of alcohol consumed fluctuates between 2.5 billion and 3 billion liters. Of all those who take alcoholic products, approximately 80% are already in the first stage of addiction.

According to the academician, with the help of alcohol, some people deliberately, step by step, slowly erase ancient traditions and rituals from the memory of the Russian people. Moreover, alcohol does this much more effectively than epidemics, diseases and wars.

Zhdanov claims that the same number of people die from alcoholism in Russia every 10-12 years as died in the Great Patriotic War. It is also important that smoking while drinking contributes to the formation of alcohol dependence.

Teenage alcoholism

a separate topic for studying Professor Zhdanov highlights adolescent alcohol addiction. He talks about the fact that the body of adolescents, still very young and not formed, is exposed to alcohol faster than an adult. The immunity of children and adolescents, which is not yet well established, cannot fully resist the action of ethyl alcohol toxins.

According to Zhdanov, the main reasons contributing to the formation of addiction in children are:

The desire to be like adults or seem like adults to others.
An example of parents who drink alcohol.
Advertising of alcoholic products, imposed on TV screens, where the main characters are attractive and successful young people.

Young people unconsciously try to imitate the habits and mannerisms of older friends, and also try to look older in their eyes. If they see that their older comrades and parents drink alcohol-containing drinks, then they get the idea that drinking alcohol is a sign of adult behavior, to follow.

The worst thing about drinking alcohol childhood is that the disease progresses very quickly. This is due to the fact that the child's liver skips a large number of poisons and toxins. She still cannot adequately fight and remove all toxic substances from the body in time.

The peculiarity of child alcoholism is such that a small dose of alcohol can cause addiction and rapidly growing alcoholism in a teenager.

According to the professor, parents and the unfavorable social environment are primarily to blame for the increase in the number of adolescents suffering from alcohol addiction. Zhdanov notes that very often parents themselves teach their children to alcohol by pouring them alcohol during the holidays.

In order to correct the current situation, Zhdanov recommends a global anti-alcohol program, with the involvement of all media, restrictions on trade and a complete ban on alcohol consumption.

The essence of Zhdanov's theories

The main, fundamental idea of Zhdanov's policy is the idea of all-Russian national sobriety. All the aspirations of the professor are aimed at reaching this goal. Awaken in the subconscious of a person the confidence that the first enemy of his mental and physical health is alcohol - here the main task activities of the professor, his lectures, lessons, films and teaching materials.

The works and works of Professor Zhdanov about the dangers of alcohol make people think and realize all the harmfulness of alcohol.

Zhdanov addresses his parents, considering it important that they early stages identified and sent for treatment addicted to alcohol adolescents. After all, addiction to alcohol at the age of 10 to 16 is dangerous because during this period there is a formation of personality, a worldview and personal beliefs are formed. Only in this way, according to the professor, it is possible to reduce mortality, raise a healthy, sober and morally stable generation of young people and save the Russian people from self-destruction.

It is not at all necessary to be a specialist in narcology in order to understand all the harm caused to the human body by excessive alcohol consumption. But the trouble is that almost everyone knows about it and only a few try to protect themselves from excessive consumption of strong drinks. Meanwhile, this problem is beginning to take on a truly national scale. If earlier, a person drinking somewhere in the park evoked negative emotions in passers-by, today they no longer pay attention to it. Alcohol overwhelmed everyone, making no exceptions for women or teenagers.

Today, no one is outraged when a high school student walks down the street with a bottle of beer or a can of some low-alcohol energy drink. No matter how scary it may sound, but the majority of the nation really becomes an inveterate drunkard and degenerates. Complete connivance on the part of the government, no effective campaigning on the part of the Ministry of Health, complete indifference to this problem of teachers in schools contribute to the development of this addiction.

If the relevant authorities worked more actively in this direction, carried out work among the population, organized the necessary lectures on the dangers of alcohol, in educational institutions, many would reconsider their attitude to alcohol.

What is alcohol really?

Alcohol causes a very terrible blow to almost all human organs. The heart, liver, brain, nervous and reproductive systems receive irreparable damage. However, everything is in order. How does alcohol affect the human body? What causes that very state of imaginary pleasure and relaxation? Why, after a couple of glasses of drinking, all pressing problems are forgotten? Is alcohol really as bad as doctors say?

In fact, drinking alcohol in any amount only aggravates the process and harms a person.

It is known from chemistry lessons that alcohol is an excellent solvent. You can verify this by leaving a piece of lard in a glass of vodka or cognac overnight. Alcohol and its derivatives in the form of drinks get through digestive system into human blood. As a result, red blood cells, which are involved in the transport of oxygen throughout the body, lose their fatty lubrication, alcohol completely dissolves it.

The cells of the body do not have the ability to slip past each other, as a result, they stick together, resembling a bunch of grapes. A small amount of clumped red blood cells does not pose a threat to the human venous or arterial system. Problems begin in the capillaries that feed the human brain with blood. Only one erythrocyte can pass the size of the capillaries. Several agglutinated red blood cells clog the capillary ducts, as a result of which the neurons do not receive enough oxygen and naturally die. The cause of alcoholic euphoria and relaxation of a person is due to the death of tens and hundreds of thousands of neurons. This example alone is enough of the damage that alcohol does to the human body.

Alcohol leads to clogging of blood vessels, an aneurysm is formed, the walls of blood vessels begin to deform, they tear under blood pressure, as a result, blood flows freely into the medulla, the result of this process is a hemorrhagic stroke. Mortality from this disease is 80-90%.

The well-known disease cirrhosis of the liver in most cases occurs precisely from alcohol abuse. According to statistics, alcohol shortens a person's life by 5-15 years.

The effect of alcohol on adolescence

The teenage body gets used to alcohol 7 times faster than the established adult.

Alcohol for teenagers is not even a problem, it's a disaster. The developing and fragile body of a schoolchild is not able to withstand harmful external influences, since it is at this age that global processes take place that turn a child into an adult.

Drinking alcoholic beverages, the student, out of his stupidity or at the desire to imitate adults, without realizing it, literally kills his body. The liver of a teenager has a capacity an order of magnitude higher than that of an adult, its structure is not strong enough to safely process all alcohol derivatives. It is enough for a schoolchild to consume a small amount of alcohol to earn a liver disease for life. In addition to the liver, at risk are nervous system, respiratory organs, brain activity decreases, immunity drops sharply. There is a high probability that such a teenager will soon turn into a drunken alcoholic.

How to protect yourself from alcohol addiction

There is an exit!

A healthy lifestyle is the main rule in order not to fall under alcohol addiction. A person should lead a varied life. Exercise daily to enrich your life as often as possible cultural events. As for schoolchildren, avoid companies where the topic of communication is limited to parties and going to nightclubs.

The Internet is literally full of various educational materials about the dangers of alcohol. Among all this set, one can single out lectures on the dangers of alcohol by Professor Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov. It is unnecessary to list all his merits in this area, it is enough to say that he spent most of his life fighting this disease. In all his materials, he urges people to get rid of the massive use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

Zhdanov's lecture materials are presented in a form understandable to the average layman, they contain facts that lead the listener to a state bordering on horror, from how dangerous alcohol can be. Zhdanov's most famous works are a lecture entitled "The Path to Sobriety". In this work, Zhdanov considers the problem of alcohol from a global and individual point of view. He calls alcohol the number one drug, which, in addition to the body, also cripples the soul of a person.

Vladimir Georgievich is the author of the famous anti-alcohol report, first presented to the public in 1986. He was awarded the RANS medal. I.I. Mechnikov and EAEN named after Paul Erlich for their great contribution to improving the health of the population.

"Alcohol terror against Russia" is another notable work Professor Zhdanov. The main theme of this lecture is to warn the people of Russia about the hidden danger that exists in alcohol. Undeniable facts are given about its negative impact on the person of his inner circle and on society as a whole.

Based on the materials of Professor Zhdanov, several films were shot. One of them called "Children's Alcoholism" shows terrible life juvenile alcoholics. It provides real numbers of adolescents suffering from alcohol addiction.

Many people, having read Zhdanov's lectures and watched his films, seriously thought about their attitude to alcohol, and perhaps forever said goodbye to the desire to drink alcohol.

Lecture by Professor Zhdanov on the dangers of legal drugs: alcohol and tobacco.

In vivid and figurative language, Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov, known for his struggle for sobriety, explains the harm caused by alcohol and smoking.

About the dangers of alcohol and smoking

It's no secret that drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, in addition to harming health, significantly hinder the development of human potential. What kind of development is there when, with a hangover, the head cracks and splits, and in the mouth, like a flock of stray dogs and cats, they made a toilet.? But!

Reasons to plump and smoke are. If drinking alcohol is for the purpose of relieving stress, wouldn't it be better to simply eliminate stressors from your life? In other words, you need to consciously search for the root cause, and not fight the effect.

After all, the desire to thump or smoke can be tracked and sorted out, thus destroying it in the bud. One has only to understand, and we pay with health and happiness (I’m not even talking about money), as if something clicks in our heads. Well, then - a matter of technology, that is, work on yourself.?

Being aware of the motives and attitudes that encourage us to harm ourselves and allow ourselves to profit, we can significantly increase the quality and duration of our life, a sober life.

Professor Zhdanov in this video he speaks in an accessible and understandable way about the dangers of alcohol and cigarettes for human body and the country as a whole, albeit exaggerating a bit, but still this person is doing a good deed, you can’t argue with that. If, after watching this film about the dangers of alcohol, one of us thinks, then Comrade Zhdanov is trying not in vain.

In his lecture, the professor reminds us that life is easy and pleasant, productive and interesting. After all, this is our natural state. After all, life in a drunken stupor passes by, while a sober life constantly opens up new horizons of opportunities for us.

So, let's watch a video lecture by V.G. Zhdanova about the dangers of alcohol and tobacco online.

Alcoholism is a global scourge.

Not to mention overcrowded hospitals, where there are people suffering from various pathologies due to the same drunkenness.

Therefore, in Russia a lot of energy is rushed to the fight and prevention of alcoholism, which destroys the entire personality of a person. One of the ideologists of the propaganda of the preventive direction, focused on the fight against alcohol addiction, is Professor Vladimir Zhdanov.

Professor Zhdanov V. G. is known for his social activities aimed at combating alcoholism

Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov has long been known for his active social activities. He travels extensively and performs in front of various audiences. Zhdanov began his educational work back in the 80s of the last century..

The main goal of Zhdanov's lectures is aimed at restoring the self-awareness of the country's population with a focus on a sober lifestyle. According to the professor, this will help improve the quality of life and increase the birth rate.

History of educational activities

1983. Zhdanov presented his very first lecture to the public at the beginning of 1983. The work was called "Lies and truth about alcohol." With this work, the public figure traveled most of the major Russian cities and post-Soviet space.

Zhdanov's first lecture was published in 1983

1986. The world saw the famous lecture by Professor Zhdanov on the dangers of alcohol. For his famous anti-alcohol report, the professor received the following awards for his great and significant contribution to the strengthening of national health:

1988. Public figure begins to conduct a series of courses, the main purpose of which is the fight against alcoholism. He takes the method of therapy developed by the famous physiologist Gennady Shichko as the basis of the lessons. At first, Zhdanov's lessons diverged on audio and video cassettes, then on disks, and later on on the Internet resources.

2008. Vladimir Georgievich is elected to the post of chairman of the Union of Struggle for Universal National Sobriety.

year 2009. The professor takes an active part in the television talk project "Common Cause". The program was widely broadcast on the First Public TV Channel, so most of our citizens got acquainted with it. As part of the ongoing talk show, all the most acute problematic factors associated with alcohol addiction were revealed:

increase in mortality;
falling birth rate;
increase in the level of crimes;
an increase in the number of sick children born to persons who abuse alcohol.

Zhdanov's activities are also actively supported by religious services. For example, in filming social project The “common cause” was attended by Father Tikhon, a clergyman of the Sretensky Monastery. The priest said that only thanks to what Zhdanov said about alcohol, he was imbued with general propaganda national wrestling for a sober life.

One of the statements of Professor Zhdanov

The words, facts, reasoning and video of Zhdanov about the dangers of alcohol are truly shocking. Some listeners, after watching and getting acquainted with lectures and lessons, forever set the limits of dry law for themselves, others significantly reduce the amount of alcoholic products consumed. But there are also skeptics who talk about significant discrepancies between Zhdanov's facts and statistics.

In any case, we can make an unambiguous conclusion that lectures, video lessons and similar educational activities professor does not leave anyone indifferent.

What does Zhdanov say

The students of the professor are representatives from different walks of life, different ages and professions. Through his work, Zhdanov seeks to draw the attention of all people to the risks and dangers that alcohol brings with it. In his lectures and reports, Zhdanov uses easy-to-understand words and operates with available statistical facts, avoiding the use of formulations and concepts that are too difficult to understand.

The essence of alcoholism

The professor not only conducts oral lectures and conversations. He shoots a lot. His documentaries are shown on TV and used for educational work in schools. Indeed, one of the areas of the professor's work is the problem of teenage alcoholism, which, unfortunately, tends to grow.

Stages of alcohol addiction according to Zhdanov

According to the professor, initial stage development of alcohol dependence passes without any somatic signs. A person only daily begins to drink alcohol, demonstrating constant irritability. With the development of the next stage, the craving for alcohol becomes more pronounced. At the same time, the level of self-criticism significantly decreases in a person. At this stage, the patient denies the presence of addiction.

At the second stage of alcohol addiction, the appearance of abstinence is noted. Withdrawal syndrome is fundamentally different from a hangover, although it has some similarities.

The third stage of alcohol addiction, according to Zhdanov's classification, is the most dangerous. Exactly at given time the most complicated consequences of long-term use of alcohol for the body develop. Moreover, disruption internal organs and systems become already irreversible. At the same time, global destruction of the liver occurs, which provokes the development of cirrhosis.

Stages of alcoholism

Problems begin in intellectual development, but the individual, despite all the problems, continues to increase the rate of alcohol consumption. This is due to the impossibility of already achieving the euphoria and intoxication that were present at the beginning of the alcoholic's journey. Alcoholism at the extreme stage requires qualified medical intervention - only with the help of physicians it is possible to reduce the harmful effects of alcohol addiction.

Causes of alcohol addiction according to Zhdanov

In his lectures, the professor identifies five main factors that become the main reasons that push a person into the abyss of a drunken world. These are the following situations:

Poverty.
The social environment.
National traditions.
Constant long-term stress.
Decreased quality and standard of living.

Indeed, what holiday in Russia is complete without alcohol. However, Zhdanov emphasizes that even without alcohol, people are able to have great fun and have a wonderful time. But the alcohol that is constantly present at the feasts leads to brawls and fights.

Vladimir Georgievich in his works encourages people to break old stereotypes and get rid of traditions that imply the mandatory presence of alcohol at the holidays.

Theory of the extermination of the Russian people

Zhdanov in his reasoning puts forward one curious conjecture. In his opinion, alcohol-containing drinks are used intentionally in order to eradicate the Russian nation and destroy the Slavic culture. As evidential factors, the social activist cites statistical indicators of births / deaths. In the literature of a philosophical and sociological orientation, this theory of Zhdanov was called the "Russian Cross".

According to a public figure, in Russia 8 out of 12 citizens drink alcohol regularly, and total Alcohol consumption varies between 2.5-3 billion liters. Approximately 80% of all alcohol users are already suffering from first-degree alcoholism.

Alcohol consumption statistics in Russia and the USSR (with comparison)

The professor declares that with the help of alcohol, interested persons are systematically destroying Russian culture, erasing from people's memory ancient traditions. Moreover, alcohol is much more effective than armed conflicts and epidemics.

According to Zhdanov, every 10-12 years in Russia, the same number of people die from alcoholism as died during the Second World War. Smoking, which is an integral part of drinking, only exacerbates and develops alcohol addiction.

The problem of child drinking

Vladimir Georgievich makes a separate study in his writings and the problem of teenage alcohol addiction. The professor explains that a young unformed organism is much more likely to be drawn into addiction. After all, the child's immune system has not yet been formed and is not able to withstand the influence of toxic ethyl alcohol. Among the main culprits provoking the appearance of drunkenness among adolescents, Zhdanov notes the following:

The desire to appear older and imitate adults.
Behavioral habits of parents who also drink alcohol.
Intrusive advertising of alcohol-containing products, which featured successful and attractive young people.

The professor believes that young people unconsciously imitate the manners of older comrades and try with all their might to be considered and seem more mature and experienced. If they notice the drunkenness of older friends, parents, then they form the idea that drinking alcohol is a sign of adulthood and experience, which should be consistent.

Zhdanov paid special attention to the problem of teenage drunkenness.

The whole horror of teenage alcoholism lies in the sad and proven fact that in the case of a child, pathology develops much faster than in an adult. After all, the liver of a teenager has an increased degree of permeability of toxins and poisons. This organ is not yet strong enough to withstand and promptly remove from the body all the toxic residues of ethyl alcohol.

Even a small dose of alcohol in a teenager can lead the latter to the appearance of a persistent addiction and rapidly developing alcoholism.

In the spread of teenage alcohol addiction, the social activist, first of all, blames parents and environment teenager. The professor points out that some adults themselves pour alcohol (wine, champagne) on family holidays children, accustoming them to alcohol.

To stop the regression, the steady extinction and alcoholization of the people of Russia, the public figure proposes a number of measures that are detailed in one of his works entitled "The Theory of Absolute Sobriety". It is about global program anti-alcohol policy pursued with the simultaneous involvement of the media, restrictive measures in trade and the introduction of "dry law".

The essence of Zhdanov's theories

The central, dominant ideology of the professor's policy is the achievement of nationwide national sobriety. All Zhdanov's activities are aimed at achieving this goal. His lessons, lectures, films and other educational materials come down to one goal - to awaken people at a subconscious level of awareness that alcohol - main enemy physical and mental health. To one of the most popular and famous works of the professor are the following works:

Lecture "The Way to Sobriety". In it, the professor simply and simply describes examples from his life and the lives of friends, talks about the dangers of alcohol and provides various statistics.
Seminars entitled "Alcohol terror against Russia". In these lectures, Zhdanov sets out one truth - that for a long time, under the auspices of alcohol, a mechanism has been launched for the total destruction of the Russian people, as a separate nationality.
Documentary film "Children's alcoholism". In these works, Zhdanov talks about the problem and causes of teenage alcohol addiction.
Documentary film "Let's drink or alcoholism." The professor tells in it about what irreversible and dire consequences come to someone who put his love for alcoholic beverages at stake in his life.

Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov in his works, lectures, films, seminars encourages a person to stop, think and realize all the harm of alcohol. This is especially worth doing to parents who should at first identify and treat alcoholism in children.

Alcohol addiction is especially terrible at the age of 10-16 years, when there is a complete formation of personality, the formation of life beliefs and worldview. It is precisely in this way and in no other way that it is possible to save the Russian nation from self-destruction, improve the demographic situation and educate a worthy replacement of sober, healthy and morally stable people.
