Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Laskowska, the author of this article, discusses the evolution of Soviet law against alcoholism in the years 1917–1991. She illustrates the scope and changes of both administrative law and criminal law in terms of alcohol consumption and its availability. Additionally, she underlines the responsibility of alcohol for crimes committed while under its influence. The article also includes an assessment of the efficiency of anti-alcohol law in the Soviet Union and examines why the measures taken appear to have had so little effect in reducing alcohol consumption in Soviet society.
