The effect of alcohol abuse on the level of completed suicides (CS) of men and women was investigated. The study period was 1959—2013. The trend of CS had convex form during this time. The sharp decline in CS was observed twice: after 1984 in connection with anti-alcohol campaign and after 2001 due to the new reduction in alcohol consumption. Last decline began to slow down after 2009 in accordance with slowing of alcohol consumption decline. Trends of two destructive phenomena are well correlated (0,855 for men and 0,647 for women). The main result is: 45% of CSs in Russia occur in connection with alcohol consumption (46% in men and 38% women). The contribution of socio-economic factors to the CS was also shown in this work.
