Publisher Description

The current health crisis in Russia is without precedent in modern history. Life expectancy has declined for men and stagnated for women in a persistent pattern since the mid-1960s. The average lifespan of Russian men declined by 5.2 years from 1965 to 2003, while the lifespan of Russian women remained about the same. Obviously something is wrong. In no other industrialized nation in peacetime has longevity been so adversely affected and nowhere else is the gender gap in life expectancy--a difference of 13.2 years--so large. Ironically, despite the Soviet social system's theoretical goal of a society without class oppression, exploitation, strife, or health inequalities, the health crisis may be grounded in class differences.
