Bootleg Alcohol Kills at Least Seven in Russia

Bootleg Alcohol Kills at Least Seven in Russia

People in Russia are dying because they drank homemade alcohol.

At least seven people have died in the Leningrad region.

The alcohol was likely made illegally and sold to people.

One person has been arrested.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened; in the past, many people have died from drinking bad alcohol.

Experts say that it might be because store-bought alcohol is getting more expensive or harder to buy.

The government has tried to control alcohol production, but problems still happen.
