Descrição: Long-term trends of deteriorating health status in the former USSR & Eastern Europe during the last 2 decades of communism were followed by a new crisis in health, after the collapse of its social system. In contrast, perestroika coincided with strongly improved public health. Explanations for the latest Russian health crisis are discussed. It is concluded that explanations based on poor medical care, excessive alcohol consumption, or nutritional deprivation are, at best, insufficient. It is suggested that the collapse of the social system itself has led to a narrowing of individual & collective decision latitudes. Further, it is speculated that historical factors, such as vulnerability of specific birth cohorts or segments of the population, may be part of the unexpected & very steep rise of mortality during the first half of the 1990s. 4 Tables, 4 Figures, 36 References.
