Alcohol and Alcoholism in Russia

Recent History

By: Sergei Jargin, Sirion Robertson

£62.99

Focusing on Russia since 1970, this book argues that alcoholism is used to veil healthcare failures by blaming victims. It exposes the unstable quality of legal beverages causing lethal poisonings, crimes against alcoholics to steal their property, and their overtreatment.
