The Oldest Pub in Britain | Journeyman Pictures
The do-gooders in politics spoilt the British pub by banning smoking in them. So many went out of business as a result of that stupid law; and the ones that didn't were turned into glorified kindergartens. Personally, I think it has led to a lot of loneliness in the UK, too. BTW, I write this as an ex-smoker; so I have no skin in the game. – © Mark Alexander

Chairman Mao's Legacy 50 Years On (1999)
Aug 24, 2022 50 Years of Revolution (1999): A look at the lives of Chinese people whose youths were drastically affected by the politics of Mao Zedong.
On 1st October 1949 communist China was born, headed by Mao Zedong. 50 years later, while China had moved on greatly from Maoist principles, his legacy still looms large. ABC Australia speaks to those affected by China's so-called cultural revolution, a famous Mao programme in which almost 20 million young Chinese were sent to countryside to have a 'rural education'. While some have managed to thrive despite the policy, others are regretful that their education was squandered in favour of politics: "At that time we should have acquired knowledge but we weren't able to study so we didn't further our learning. I really regret this." An intriguing report on Mao's continuing presence in the everyday life of China, and the effect of one's youth on one adult life.

Catholics Made Unwelcome in Orthodox Russia | 2002
Jan 30, 2019 • Russia's Holy War (2002) - The policy of religious discrimination pursued by Putin's government is more akin with the Tsarist regime of old than a new, modern Russian state.
In Pskov, on Russia’s far Western border, demonstrators protest outside the site of a new Catholic church. “Catholics get lost, Russia for Russians, Pskov for Pskovitans!” they chant. They are members of the Russian Orthodox Church, disgusted by the “intrusion” of the Catholic religion into their country.

Russia’s Drinking Problem | 2003
Feb 10, 2021 • Drinking Away the Pain (2003) - More and more Russians are turning to drink to help numb the pain of post-Soviet life.
Russians consume over half the world’s hard liqueur. Vodka is often cheaper than non-alcoholic drinks and beer is marketed as a soft drink. As a result, alcoholism has reached record levels, pushing down life expectancies for Russian men to just 58. “As a rule, the Russian drinks until he falls. Some continue drinking even when they’re lying down,” explains one man. Unfortunately there are few places alcoholics can turn to for help. “I lost my family, I lost my house, everything,” recalls one former alcoholic sadly. He’s one of the lucky ones - a church charity took him in. For most Russian alcoholics, the only refuge available is a humiliating night in a ‘sober-cell.’ “Russia has a very tragic history … we have permanently faced cataclysm. Alcohol helps weak people to escape,” explains theatre director Yuri Lubimov. Unless the quality of life for more people improves, Russians will continue to seek refuge in the most traditional of cures.

The Good Struggle: Life In a Secluded Orthodox Monastery
“There were more before but not all could endure and prove their ability to stay in the monastery,” says a member of the Greek Orthodox Christian community. Theirs is a simple life that revolves around religious ceremony and the daily rituals of craft work and growing, picking and preparing fresh food.
