Russia cracking down
on grandma’s moonshine
By DAVID NAGY
MOSCOW (UPl)—What’s in
the milk jug, grandma?
Why, officer, that’s just a
little something I brewed up for
grandpa’s funeral feast.
Nice old ladies like Anna
Mikhailovna Sapryshina —alias
“Grannie Furundichikha” in
the home-made whiskey trade
used to disarm snooping police
men with lines like that. But no
more, because the heat is on.
The law and the press are out
to break up one of Russia’s
oldest cottage industries—the
home distilleries that contribute
mightily to the national prob
lem of drunkenness.
Official press reports say the
raiders are ransacking many a
rustic kitchen and smashing

many a crock of bathtub vodka
or the Russian white lightning
that looks like vodka but tastes
like whisky.
Turns out the woman behind
the tipsy man is likely to be
grandma, the moonshiner.
One raid brought the raiders
into the kitchen of Anna
Sapryshina, alias “Grannie
Furundichikha,” in a village
near the town of Kaluga.
“What’s the matter, sons,”
said Anna as fire inspector Yur
Novikov poked his nose into a
milk can and sniffed white
lightning.
“Well, dear sons, I’m getting
ready to observe my son’s
funeral feast and that’s all I
have,” the newspaper quoted
Anna as saying. “You know, I
morning.
Police said he was riding his
bicycle north on North Hill
street, when an auto, which was
traveling in the same direction,
hit the bike and drove away
without stopping. The accident
happened at the driveway of
Thomas Packing Co.
Gloria Weems, 17, of Route
Four, McDonough, suffered
cheek and chin injuries when
the auto in which she was riding
hit a bridge rail on North Hill
street near Joe’s Package Store
around 4:20 p.m. yesterday.
They listed Larry J. Ingram, 19,
of Route Four, Me Donough, as
driver of the car.
A 10-year-old pedestrian was
hit by a car at the North Hill and
North Sixth streets intersection
Monday around 10 p.m.
Police said Rickie Williams of
518 North Sixth street ran into
the path of the car which was
driven by Theodore Lemons, 60,
of 123 Lake drive. Officers
termed the accident
unavoidable.
The child was treated for side,
arm and head injuries.
Mrs. Patricia Ann Long, 22, of
Route One, Box 143-A, suffered
a locerated forehead and knee
injury Monday morning when
her car ran off the road and
skidded down a ditch some 225
feet. She told patrolmen the
accident happened when she
reached to catch her baby who
had slipped out of a car seat.
The mishap happened at Birdie
and Steel roads.
John Lewis White, 36, of
Spalding Heights, was treated
at the local hospital for shoulder
and arm injuries he suffered in

please don’t take my name.”
Investigation showed Anna
was chief tavern-keeper to the
construction gang at work
across the street from her
cottage.
The newspaper detailed other
cases of grandmothers caught
at their capers and said the
“funeral feast” story was a
favorite dodge.
The still-smashing campaign
is part of a new nationwide
crackdown against drunken
ness. The new laws make
moonshining the worst offense
of all, ordering up to three
years imprisonment for a first
offender who sells his product
and up to five years for a
second offender.
