Health and Welfare in St. Petersburg, 1900-1941

Protecting the Collective

More about the book

Focusing on the historical context of health care in Russia, the book explores how Bolshevik and tsarist physicians aimed to prioritize the health of the working class and rural population. By utilizing declassified archival materials and health propaganda, the author illustrates their efforts to foster a collectivist approach to health, eradicate major diseases, and ultimately establish a socialist welfare state. This analysis reveals the intersection of health, politics, and social ideology in early 20th-century Russia.
