Misusing alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can have both immediate and long-term health effects.The misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and prescription medications affect the health and well-being of millions of Americans. NSDUH estimates allow researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and the general public to better understand and improve the nation’s behavioral health. These reports and detailed tables present estimates from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).
Alcohol

Sagay rite of removal of spoilage and purification T.S. Burnakova
The ritual practice of Tatiana (Khakass name Tadya) Semyonovna Burnakova consisted of conducting various ceremonies at the request of people who came to her. She was one of the last ritual specialists of the Khakas-Sagais, called herself taғ to i z i - 'mountain man', because she was in constant contact with the "mountain people", that is, the spirits of the mountains, received from them various information.
This practice is close to the practice of modern shamans without a tambourine [4; 5].
T.S. Burnakova also performed non-ritual chants (see Non-ritual songs and chants of the shamanic repertoire of T.S. Burnakova), mythological stories, speech incantations, laments syyt , songs saryn [6], Orthodox prayers [7].
The rite of removal of spoilage from the patient and his purification was held on October 17, 1998 at the request of the collectors. When meeting and getting to know T.S. Burnakova first of all performed the ceremony of sprinkling i l i d (Audio example 01). At the same time, she was baptized and, pouring vodka into a mug, sprinkled it with a spoon, treating the spirits and uttering a conspiracy in speech form [1]:
Che, Togys Markha,
Ilig feast!
Togys Hara Tyalgya,
But, the magat drank the Piriner!
Ulug taғlarga,
Ulug suғlarga
Tooza ilig pirchem!
Tag kizileringe,
Khudai kizilerge
Ilig feast!
Min pularga it pirikchem,
Aimakh kiziler.
Chakhsoh pilip dyralyr!
Chakhsokh choohtygla!
Mynda choohtanan kizi choo[ғ]yl ba [a]m?
Yrakhtyn kilgen mynase.
Mikhailden churtaap chirinen kiltir.
Che, we are looking for min.
Well, Nine Buttons,
Sprinkle wine!
Nine Black Foxes,
But find out well!
Great mountains,
Great rivers
I sprinkle wine on everyone!
Mountain people,
God's people
Sprinkle wine!
I want to do this,
To strangers[2].
Find out well!
Speak well!
Isn't there a person here to tell?
This one came from afar[3],
She came from the land where Michael lived.
Well, I heard this one.
T.S. Burnakova told several legends dedicated to and i z i ler (mountain people). Some of them included songs saryn . Orthodox prayers were also performed (“Our Father” and “Holy God”), speech al ғ ys for the deceased, a chanted spell from drunkenness, and healing chant.
The above list of genres indicates that Grandmother Tadi is characterized by a synthesis of traditional beliefs of the Sagais and Orthodoxy. Finally, the rite of removal of damage was performed last hamnypche ‘kamlanie’ (Turk. ham / kam means ‘shaman’).
It was held right in the kitchen in the shaman's house. T.S. Burnakova did not use any special clothes or attributes, and changed into the national Khakass dress only after the ceremony, especially in order to be photographed (Photo 05).
Before the start of the ceremony, a modest altar was set up on the table, including a small Orthodox icon and an enamel mug filled with vodka (Photo 03). The shaman seated the patient on a chair in the middle of the room and gave her a hawthorn branch in her hands.
The ritual began with an appeal to the main helper spirits: the son and daughter of the owner of the mountain. Their names are similar: the daughter is called TOGYS MARCHA and L GÿRMEST I Gyza ('Nine buttons, with the fifty pigtail girl - Haaras tÿlgÿlgÿl i khurlyғ oolgy ('Nine Black Foxes, with fifty belts guy').
Sometimes expanded names were replaced by the formula Togys Il i g ('Nine and fifty'). The mother and father of the shaman were also mentioned:
Togys Markha, Togys Markha,
Togys Markha, Togys Markha!
Ilig feast, ilig feast!
Minoch itchem, minoch itchem!
Adan kaidyn crawling?
- Lida.

What will be your name?
- Lida.
- Uh, I'm doing it for Lida,
I want to remove the bad things in her.
My daughter has fifty pigtails,
My daughter has fifty pigtails:
Nine and fifty, Nine and fifty,

The son of the master of the mountain, son,
Here, here, I sprinkle wine!
I sprinkle wine on the shaman's mother,

There is nothing they don't know,
Everything I ask.
Here I am doing
Here I am doing
Here I am doing
I am doing, I am doing!
I baptize, I baptize!
Appeal to spirits was accompanied by splashing vodka with an aluminum spoon, which T.S. Burnakova held in her right hand. Then she took a branch from the patient and placed it on the window (Photo 04), in all likelihood creating a protection against the penetration of hostile spirits.
In words K i rest i pchem, k i rest i pchem! (“I baptize, I baptize!”) the shaman took the icon and moved it counterclockwise three times in front of the patient’s face.
The next fragment established the fact of inducing damage, which was symbolically represented in the image chylan kib i ң ‘snake skin’. The main method of removing damage is the return of the harm done. Snake skin was repeatedly sent with the help of a magic spell to the one who sent it:
Itken nimeni, nandyr (a) Albal!
Nandira pirchem, nandira pirchem!
Minoch itchem Khudai kizi,
Minoch itchem Khudai kizi!
Snake skin, snake skin,
Snake skin, snake skin,
In a snake skin, in a snake skin!
What you did, take it back!
I give it back, I give it back!
I do to the man of God,
I do to the man of God!
The verbal spell was reinforced by an action: taking a branch, the shaman hit it first on one shoulder, then on the other shoulder of the standing patient, and then with the branch, as before with an icon, she made several circles in front of the patient’s face.
The musical and textual composition of the ceremony consisted of three parts, performed to different melodies (Audio examples 02-04). The actions described above were performed in the first part, which was the most eventful in terms of content. It included the invocation of the main spirits - the daughter and son of the owner of the mountain, as well as shamanic ancestors; dialogues with the patient (recognition of names) and his presentation to the spirits; finding out the cause of the problem that worries him; holding a healing session. In the course of the ceremony, all the actions performed by the shaman were repeatedly described (“I sprinkle wine, baptize, do, etc.”). The healing session consisted of repeated repetition of phrases like "Take back the snake skin!". Thus, the harm done was sent back to the one who caused it.
At the end of the first part, there was an appeal to the shaman tambourine, which T.S. Burnakova did not use (see the beginning of Audio Example 03), as V.
I. wrote about. Kharitonova [6]:
Khara sugyn bazan
Khatyg agas alyp aldym.
Hara sugdyn bazan
Khatyg aghas alyp aldym.
From the source of black water
I took hard wood.
From the source of black water
I took hard wood.
In the second part, spirits hostile to humans were described, but without regard to the specific case of inducing damage. Apparently, in this section, the descriptions of spirits are made in accordance with the canons of the shamanic tradition:
Azakhtyg la aylanmaҹan,
Idektig le ib (i) rilbeҹen,
Sabylbaskha sabylbaҹan,
Urunmasha- and urunmaҹan.
Monykhcha harakhtyglar,
Ingize tistigler.
Like snakes do not hiss,
Like worms do not crawl,
With uneven teeth,
With cheeks like a rock - khomys .
On the feet yes do not turn,
Hems yes do not circle,
Do not hit the unbeaten,
Do not hit the unbeaten.
Eyes like beads,
Teeth like needles.
In the second part of the rite, another melody sounded (audio example 03), and at the end the shamanistic sound wewn that was absent in reality was again mentioned - the scan orba :
HAM Orbase,
Minoch Sapcha, Minoch Sapcha!
Ham orbazy minoch down,
Ham orbazy minoch down!
Shaman's Orb Shaman's Orb
I hit, I hit!
Shaman's orb I rumble,
Shaman's orb I rumble!
The third part of the rite contained an important moment - purification alas . Another melody was used in it (Audio example 04), and the text mentioned thyme (Bogorodskaya grass) and juniper, which have cleansing power:
0002 Arai arahi pÿtkhi pÿt!
Alas, alas, alazym!
Ilig tagdan irben ode!
Alas, alas, alazym!
Azyr tagdan archyn odes!
Tutkhan holdi sali pirdim,
Tuzan pagdy sisti pirdim.
Alas, alas, alazym!
Ilig tagdan irben ode!
Azyr tagdan archyn odes!
Kires… kires, kirezim!
Kires, kires, kirezim!
Tag eezizi-y itken nime,
Pir-iki kÿnge chazyl parҹan!
Kires, kires, kires feast!
Min kirezim alysh pirzem.
Tag eezizi itche below,
Tag eezizi pirche below.
Get well little by little!
Get better little by little!
Get better little by little!
Get better little by little!
Alas, alas , my alas !
Bogorodskaya grass from fifty mountains!
Alas, alas , my alas !
Juniper from the top of the mountain!
She untied her tied hands,
She unraveled her tangled legs.
Alas, alas , my alas !
Bogorodskaya grass from fifty mountains!
Juniper from the top of the mountain!
Cross, cross, my cross!
Cross, cross, my cross!
What the owner of the mountain does,
It's gone in one or two days!
Cross, cross, cross, I give!
I give a blessing with my cross.
The owner of the mountain does,
The owner of the mountain gives.
The word alas is untranslatable. It exists in many Turkic languages and means both the rite of purification itself (which can be performed separately as an independent rite) and the cleansing action. The text mentioned the cross - while the sign of the cross was superimposed on the patient. The final part contained a statement of the fact of the committed actions, and the successful outcome of the ritual was fixed. It was emphasized that everything happened at the will of the owner of the mountain, and the specialist who performed the ceremony was only an intermediary between people and spirits.
The poetic texts of the rite are based on a combination of 7- and 8-complex lines. An important principle of their organization is repetition: individual lines can be repeated up to four times, due to which the therapeutic effect of suggestion is achieved.
Combinations of some lines form stanzas within a single cross-cutting text.
The strophicity is also manifested at the musical level, since the tunes used in the ritual have, as a rule, a two- or four-line organization. A four-line melostrophe is typical for the first movement, a two-line one for the second and third.
The melody of the first part is close to the non-ritual healing chant from the repertoire of T.S. Burnakova. A variant of the same tune was used by the younger sister of Tadi's grandmother E.S. Burnakova (Photo 07) also as a healing chant (Audio example 05). According to her, this chant was used when a small child was sick. The disease could be caused by something bad (for example, an evil spirit) entering the house together with a stranger, which caused anxiety to the child. To expel evil forces from the house, a rite was performed in which this chant was performed.
The performing style of both sisters has pronounced signs of shamanic singing: low tessitura of the voice and consistent use of vibrato. This was manifested most strongly in the third part of the ceremony performed by T.
S. Burnakova, where signal intonation was used along with vocal intonation.
During the conversation, the shaman expressed her conviction that the ritual tradition passed down in her family would not be interrupted after her and would definitely pass on to one of the descendants, presumably the daughter of her younger sister. Tadi Semyonovna reported that the shaman tambourine, which belonged to her grandfather Chapan, ulugham ‘great shaman’, now “closed in grief”, but when a strong shaman appears, it will be given to him.

- How to correctly and legally write a person out of an apartment - legal ways to solve a difficult task.
Real Estate Lifehacks
Updated: October 19, 2022
In some cases, you need to write another person out of the apartment. This can be a former spouse, a relative, or a person registered as a friend.
If the registered person has not lived for a long time at the place of his registration, then the utility bills for him have to be paid by the owner of the housing. In addition, a registered person can return to the place of registration and continue to live there - as far as he has the right to do so.
In this article, we will talk about how to write out a registered tenant from an apartment, even without the consent of the latter, as well as about the nuances of the procedure and legislation in this area.
Registration and registration
It is worth emphasizing that the term "propiska" does not exist legally today, but the word continues to be actively used by the people. Now, registration means registration, which can be temporary or permanent. Thus, the words propiska and registration are synonymous today, although the first word is legally obsolete and is used in a colloquial style, but not in an official one.
The registration system operated during the Soviet era: in this way, the authorities regulated the movement of people, and also limited the resettlement from one region of the country to another. It was impossible to live without a residence permit: they could issue a fine. Naturally, it was also impossible to receive any public services without a residence permit.
After the collapse of the Union, this system, in the form in which it existed, was abolished. Today, Russia officially has a registration system. In theory, it is necessary to track the movement of people within the state. For example, registration information can be used by the state to find a child support defaulter, etc. In practice, the system does not always work as it should, as information can be updated slowly.
The number of benefits and benefits depends on registration - the latter differ in different regions. In some areas, there are salary supplements, auxiliary benefits, and a special pension.
Registration is also required to apply to the MFC authorities, attach to a polyclinic, send letters from government agencies.
Permanent and temporary registration
There are two types of registration - permanent and temporary. Permanent is registration at the place of residence, temporary - registration at the place of stay.
Temporary registration is required if a person travels outside their region and plans to stay there for more than 90 days.
Temporary registration is given for a certain period. It can be either a few months or several years. After the expiration of term , temporary registration must be extended.
Permanent registration implies that a person regularly lives at the specified address. It is valid until the person is removed from registration .
How to terminate temporary registration
Temporary registration is canceled automatically after its expiration. The owner of the apartment can also to write out a resident at a temporary residence permit of their own free will and do it ahead of schedule. To do this, the owner needs to write an application for the early departure of a person who lives in an apartment with temporary registration. The application must be sent to the body in which the registration was made. You can also send an application to the public services website. The person must be deregistered within three days.
How to remove a person from the registration register
The owner has the right to write out other tenants of the apartment if the latter do not have ownership rights to it. There are two ways of discharge: voluntary and compulsory.
Voluntary procedure
It happens quite simply and is carried out with the consent of the prescribed. A person registered in a living space must contact the MFC or use the website of public services to be discharged. Thus, tenant is discharged himself, and the procedure for removing from registration occurs without problems.
Compulsory procedure
Here everything is much more complicated. You will need to go to court.
The owner cannot discharge the tenant himself without a trial. But there are a number of exceptions to this rule. The owner can do this if the registered person is physically unable to come to the administrative body:
recognized as missing on the basis of a court decision
died or was declared dead by a court decision
In these situations, the owner must provide the relevant documents to the MFC.
If you need to write out the deceased , it is necessary to present a certificate of his death.
It is worth saying that a person’s illness or being abroad by law is not a reason for removing him from registration without his participation. Therefore, in these and other situations, it will be necessary to resort to a judicial procedure if the registered person does not want to be discharged voluntarily.
There are a number of conditions under which the owner can discharge the tenant through the court:
divorce of spouses. If the property was bought by one of the spouses before the wedding, it is completely his property. In this case, you can write out ex-spouse
the registered person does not actually live in the apartment. During the trial, a number of factors will be taken into account to make sure that a person does not really live at the address where he is registered: does the registered person have things in the apartment, does he pay utility bills, does mail come to this address for him
prescribed leads an antisocial lifestyle.
If a person constantly quarrels with other tenants and poses a danger to others, it is possible to achieve forced eviction through the court . His behavior must be confirmed by the testimony of the district police officer or witnesses
the registered person has his own property and lives at a different address. This can be proved by an extract from the State Register. Also, the testimony of witnesses may be useful in court.
in case of use of housing for other purposes. For example, he made a cafe or a workshop on the territory of the living space.
If a person lives under a social tenancy agreement (in municipal housing) , there is such a list of reasons for eviction:
the tenant regularly violates the rights of neighbors
the tenant does not pay for the apartment, does not pay for utilities
in case of deprivation of parental rights of employers and the impossibility of living with their children
the actions of the tenant lead to damage to the apartment
the use of living space is not carried out for the intended purpose
Relatives
Discharge of a registered relative is a fairly common procedure.
The owner of the apartment can write out a relative if he no longer lives in it. You can also write out the adult children of the owner who no longer live at the place of registration. This is also done forcibly.
However, there is one legal problem related to the fact that “extraction to nowhere” can occur. From a legal point of view, a person simply has nowhere to live after being removed from permanent registration. If the owner does not prove to the court that the relative has another place where he can live, most likely it will not be possible to forcibly remove the person from the registration. The court will refuse the owner of the property.
Forced discharge procedure
To to forcibly evict people, you must file a lawsuit with the district court in the place where the apartment is located. Lawyers recommend sending a notice to the person to be discharged by registered letter. This is optional, but will speed up the process in the future.
The court will also need the following documents:
a document confirming the ownership of the apartment
confirmation that the person the plaintiff intends to evict has received a written notice to evict
documents that confirm that the defendant no longer has the right to use the living space. For example, it could be a certificate of divorce
evidence that a person no longer lives in an apartment, does not pay for utilities, does not receive mail. To do this, you can demonstrate letters that he did not receive, as well as show the living space to witnesses
confirmation that a copy of the claim was sent to the defendant
document on payment of state duty
As a rule, such cases last up to 6 months, depending on the details of the trial. If the court took the side of the plaintiff, a copy of the decision must be taken to the FMS or the MFC.
Who most likely cannot be discharged
The law does not specify a list of people who cannot be forcibly discharged.
But in practice, the state protects a number of vulnerable categories of the population. First of all, they are minors. Discharging a minor can be a problem. For example, if a child lives with his mother, but is registered in his father's apartment, it will be impossible to discharge him before the age of 18.
It is also difficult to de-register a person who does not have other housing. The court most likely will not discharge a person "to nowhere". It is impossible to write out a person who has a certain share in the apartment. The maximum that the court can do in this case is to recognize this share as insignificant and force it to be sold.
Pins
There are two ways to deregister a registered person: voluntarily and involuntarily. In the first case, the registered person himself applies to the relevant services and writes a statement. The second situation is likely to require going to court. For forced eviction from an apartment, weighty reasons are needed: for example, proven antisocial behavior of the tenant, damage to the apartment, the presence of other housing, a situation where the registered person does not live in the apartment and does not pay for utilities.
