Question

According to legend, Alfred von Vacano (“AHL-fred foan FUH-kah-noh”) sold a variety of this good under the name “Viennese” before its name was changed because it sounded too “bourgeois.” Some people who sold this good were known as “kissers” because they kissed a cross when taking an oath not to steal. Production of a version of this good called samogon (“sam-uh-GOAN”) caused extreme (10[1])dry goods shortages. A country’s production of this good was curtailed after the death of Prince Olaf in Vilnius at the start of World War I, exacerbating hyperinflation. A monopoly on selling this good through the kabak system provided a third of state revenue (10[2])in the Russian Empire.

A. Smirnov. For 10 points, the sale of what good (10[1])was limited by Mikhail Gorbachev’s so-called “dry law”? ■END■ (10[1])
