Easy to obtain in russia. You can use pressed yeast, but not powdered, or it'll be a huge mess.

What is the deal with slavs and squatting like that?

Kek. It's a meme from gopniks (slavic chavs) - if you can squat without lifting your heels you're in the club.

This recipe is not so good. What you describe is some sort of homemade beer without hops. Kvass is supposed to be probiotic, and sour in flavor from lacto-fermentation, and not very alcoholic. At least use sourdough starter instead of yeast.

Why is that, exactly? I found a recipe last week and was going to make some tomorrow. Problem is I got powdered yeast.
