Question

Who said this quote? "Give them there cigaretters and Vodka..and you can control them forever"?

I probally murdered the quote entirely. Hoping someone recognizes it :) Its a quote about controlling a population by giving them there basic needs, in this case cigarettes and vodka. I'm pretty sure its Russian in origin. (USSR). Thanks for any help.

(I asked this a week ago but didn't get the right answer :( )
