Alexander Krashevski says he looks older, but he is only 35. A heavy alcoholic, he started drinking at school when he was 14. .Alexander was originally from Murmansk City, capital of Murmansk Province. Four years ago, he and his 26-year-old brother Yuri moved to Revda, a crumbling "Mono-city" where the whole town is hanging on the fate of a single, dying factory. The local population is sharply falling, replaced in part by an influx of alcoholics like Alexander and Yuri from the expensive capital in search of cheap living..Here, they scape together 70 roubles to buy 250ml of medical spirit. .
