Health capital in Russia is in steep decline. Today the Russian population is decreasing by more than 700,000 per annum. Life expectancy has decreased significantly since it peaked in the mid-1960s. Infectious diseases, including an emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic, are threatening to worsen Russia's health crisis and further overwhelm a dilapidated healthcare system. Soviet and Russian government policies aimed at preserving health capital have failed consistently. Government policies and intervention have contributed to the crisis. The purpose of this research was to determine a possible explanation for the continuity in ineffective government policy. The analysis indicates the influence of a paternalistic political culture permeates the political process. As a result, the government is free to pursue its own agenda without a significant degree of accountability to the population. Issues affecting health capital are not a priority of the government. The consequence, therefore, is short-sighted and uncoordinated government policy and programs that are underfunded. Long-term improvements to Russia's health capital will require a shift in the political culture. State-society relations must evolve to allow and encourage greater interaction between state officials and the general population. Without government accountability or inidividual responsibility, health capital in Russia will continue to decline.

By 1997, five of those individuals were on Forbes Magazine's list of the world's richest billionaires.

This ground-breaking new volume focuses on the interaction between political, social, and economic change in Central and Eastern Europe and the New Independent States. It includes a wide selection of analytic papers, thought-provoking essays by leading scholars in diverse fields, and an agenda for future research. It integrates work on the micro and macro levels of the economy and provides a broad overview of the transition process. This volume broadens the current intellectual and policy debate concerning the historic transition now taking place from a narrow concern with purely economic factors to the dynamics of political and social change. It questions the assumption that the post-communist economies are all following the same path and that they will inevitably develop into replicas of economies in the advanced industrial West. It challenges accepted thinking and promotes the utilization of new methods and perspectives.

This volume explores the nature of health and health-care experiences in Russia by comparing societies and communities with different socio-cultural conditions. The unique use of longitudinal data collected over ten years, allows the authors to address key questions on Russians individual experiences of health care and their understanding of its influencing factors. They explore the methods of self treatment and illness prevention in combination with the effects poverty and treatment availability can have on the standards of living for the people surveyed. This pertinent issue follows a time of rapidly worsening health status amongst the Russian population and a grave decline in male life expectancy. 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.

This 2018 Article IV Consultation highlights that Russia’s economy is recovering from the 2015–2016 recession, thanks to the authorities’ effective policy response and higher oil prices. Output increased by 1.5 percent in 2017 on the back of robust domestic demand, but short of expectations. Growth is projected at 1.7 percent in 2018, supported by rising credit and disposable incomes. Headline inflation is projected to bounce back during the second half of 2018 to 3.5 percent at year end, supported by the ongoing domestic demand recovery, pass-through from the recent ruble depreciation, and the fading of temporary factors. The medium-term outlook remains muted, owing to structural bottlenecks and the lingering impact of sanctions.

This timely book explores Russia's political development since the collapse of the USSR and how inextricably it has been bound up with economic change. Assessing the legacies of the Soviet period, leading scholars trace the evolution of Russia's political economy and how it may develop as bitter battles continue to be waged over property and state revenues, the development of private agriculture, and welfare. This book puts these domestic issues in international and comparative perspective by considering Russia's position in the global economy and its growing role as a major energy producer. Focusing especially on the nature and future of Russian capitalism, the contributors weigh the political problems that confront Russia in its ongoing struggle to modernize and develop its economy.
