spousal abuse in russia (which is obviously not representative of all Slavs) is outrageously high:

FEIFER: Director Marina Nakitina downplays the issue of domestic violence. She says domestic abuse is no worse in Russia than anywhere else. Others disagree. Even the government's own figures estimate 14,000 women die each year from domestic violence. That's about one every hour. It's more than 10 times the number of deaths in the United States, which has twice Russia's population. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=92621334

One in four families in the Russian federation experience domestic violence. Amnesty International reports that each day, 36,000 women in the Russian Federation are beaten by their husbands or partners. Furthermore, sociological studies show that 30 per cent of married women are regularly subjected to physical violence.

I think it all comes down to Vodka.
