This volume explores the nature of health and health-care experiences in Russia by comparing societies and communities with different socio-cultural conditions. The findings are set within the context of experience from Finland and the UK, allowing the authors to explore the challenge of the Russian health-care crisis to Western European models of health status and health care.
