Tragic incident in Krasnodar region: how surrogate alcohol led to fatalities for tourists

Warning: Unlicensed Alcohol Sales Pose Risks in Russia

In a recent development, authorities in Russia are conducting raids at the "Kazachy" market in Sirius, where a dangerous alcoholic product, specifically homemade chacha, was being sold [1]. This incident follows a series of hospitalizations and three fatalities in the Krasnodar region, where two women are suspected of selling homemade alcohol [2].

To avoid falling victim to these dangerous products, it is essential to never buy alcohol from unlicensed vendors or markets where quality and safety are not guaranteed. Russian authorities, including Rospotrebnadzor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, strongly advise tourists to purchase alcohol only from licensed and reputable stores or establishments [1].

Here are some specific tips for avoiding dangerous homemade chacha:

  1. Avoid homemade or unregulated chacha, especially if bought from street markets or unofficial sellers, as these may contain toxic substances like methanol that have caused multiple deaths recently [2][4].
  2. Purchase alcohol from licensed shops, restaurants, or bars, where products must meet safety and quality controls [1].
  3. Be aware that alcohol consumption in Russia is legally restricted to certain places (bars, restaurants, private homes), so suspicious alcohol sold outside regulated settings carries higher risks [3].
  4. If offered chacha by locals, confirm its source and safety; it is safer to decline unknown homemade alcohol unless you know the producer’s reliability.

In addition to these tips, there are several indicators of potentially dangerous alcohol:

  • The absence of an excise stamp for strong alcohol is another red flag [1].
  • An unusual smell, such as a strong chemical odor, can also indicate a poor-quality product [1].
  • Poorly attached labels, leaks on the bottle, and a wobbly cap are signs of danger [1].
  • Suspiciously low prices for alcohol, especially cheaper than water, should raise concerns [1].

It is crucial to remember that alcohol sales are prohibited near schools, hospitals, and sports facilities, as well as at train stations, gas stations, and in public transportation [1]. Online alcohol sales are also prohibited in Russia [1].

In this ongoing investigation, authorities are working to identify the producers and other participants in this activity. The police have already detained the two women suspected of selling the dangerous alcohol, and a criminal case is actively progressing [1].
