Has any non-teetotaler Russian male ever lived past 80?

Take away Stalin's vodka and he might make it, but is he still Stalin?
I don't think you can use the general life expectancy of the common Soviet citizen to determine how long Stalin might have lived. Stalin was the leader of a world power and had all the doctors he wanted at his disposal. Also, as others poined out, Stalin didn't consume vodka bud wine.
