Using declassified archival material and health propaganda, Williams argues that the Bolsheviks, tsarist and Soviet physicians were determined to prioritize the health of the proletariat and peasantry. They sought to create a collectivist attitude towards health, to eradicate key diseases and in the process build a socialist welfare state. This book analyzes why this transformation failed.
