Medicines for the Soviet Masses during World War II

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on Soviet medicine during World War II, the book explores three critical areas: the state of healthcare, including pharmaceuticals and medical instruments; an analysis of the mid-level Soviet economy from 1938 through the war; and the role of narodnaia meditsina, a form of homemade medicine developed due to wartime shortages. Through interviews and pharmacology journals, it highlights how citizens adapted to challenges in medical care during this tumultuous period.
