I had an uncle who managed to spend the entire decade of the 1950s drunk in the USSR, and he wasn't even in prison! He, between stupors, would send film rolls of Soviet television programs for us to watch.
THE VODKA MOOSE SHOW was one I particularly liked.
In the shows I saw, he never left the bathroom, constantly drank vodka from a cup, and would alternate between slurring/singing incomprehensible songs and shaking his fist and screaming.
I have no idea if it was or wasn't a kid's show.
@Dale reminded me of this fond memory with his great depiction:
What was he DOING there?? My great aunt Rosa was sent to the salt mines in Siberia during the War, I guess is when it was. I don't understand how it happened cause she was Austrian/Polish....I assume living in Poland by the time of WWII. well at least she lived through it, and was a kind of quiet and serious intellectual. Most of the people on that side of the family weren't too "bright or hep" .....
It was a family show— the effed up part is that it was compulsory that every time Moose took a shot, the family was expected to take a shot. Not doing so was widely-rumored to summon the ghost of Lavrenty Beria.
