Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of drunkenness in the Russian community of Tobolsk province in the era of modernization and measures of struggle of the church and secular authorities with this negative phenomenon. It is noted that with the introduction of the wine monopoly, alcohol consumption in the peasant community is growing, and with it the number of offenses among the peasantry is increasing. Sobriety societies are being created in towns and villages of the Tobolsk province to combat drunkenness in the countryside. With the introduction of the «prohibition law» during the First World War, alcohol consumption by the population of the empire initially decreases, but at the same time there is an increase in distilling by the local population. Despite the measures taken by the state and the public aimed at combating drunkenness in the village, these measures, although they had a certain effect, were, on the whole, unsatisfactory.
