Well, I can't say I am a fan of Goga (my feministic mind can't put up with his attitude to women and some other macho tendencies ) but I don't think that a single occasion of being drunk makes somebody a wino (of course there could be some other similar occasions in his life, since the movie shows just a little piece of it, but he doesn't make that impression).
Watch these vomitized brainfarts to consolidate your stereotypes about this country. Might do your listening comprehension a lot of good though. The above is nothing more than my IMHO.
I don't think that the aim of this film was to promote some stereotypes about Russia. It's just a simple story that could happen in any country. More than that I think it contained an anti-stereotype, showing a woman who had wholly made herself (the stereotype being all Russian women are worshiping-their-husband housewives).
And the above was MHO also.
