This is an extra post i did because i found some information dealing with the Moksha culture about social issues they deal with today. One of their main issues is Alcoholism. Drinking alcohol is used as their main form of recreation in specific rural areas. With low wages and more depression, their has been a rise in the consumption of alcohol in the Mordovia region. Another issue that has risen is called Russification. This term describes force by the government to instill Russian language and culture in differing ethnic groups, including the Moksha. This has caused a rapid decline in population for the Moksha that will continue to decline.
