Description

Explore the evolution of Russian health policy in this historical study by Christopher Williams. As the first book to chart the transition from late Imperial to Soviet health management, it examines how policy changes impacted the collective health of Russia's former capital. This work investigates the struggles faced by the medical profession and the Bolsheviks as they navigated the failures of the Tsarist government. It provides a detailed look at how the health of poor peasants and the working class was affected by political divisions among doctors, budget constraints, and debates over the direction of health policy. By looking at St. Petersburg as a second regime city, the book offers a unique perspective on the efforts to forge alliances and change the landscape of public welfare. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of medicine in context and the social shifts within early 20th-century Russia.
