Claire L. Shaw. Deaf in the USSR: Marginality, Community, and Soviet Identity, 1917–1991
Speech, and the companionate ability to hear it, featured prominently in the campaigns of Soviet officials to inculcate a new, revolutionary ideology into their largely illiterate population following the revolution of 1917. In this engaging, well-written, and clearly-structured volume, Claire L. Shaw asks where that left the deaf-mute – a group of about nine percent of the population in 1917 and rising in number after the effects of war and bomb…
Save the Men!”
In 1968, the Soviet economist and demographer Boris Urlanis started a national conversation in the Soviet Union with his article “Beregite muzhchin!” or “Save the Men!” in the popular journal Literaturnaia gazeta. The essay, translated here, points out the increasingly troubling imbalance in male and female health as men were dying, on average, eight years earlier than women. Urlanis calls for attention to accidents and lifestyle problems (smokin…

A Revolutionary Attack on Tobacco: Bolshevik Antismoking Campaigns in the 1920s
Using archival records of the Commissariat of Public Health, journals, and propaganda materials from the antismoking campaign of the Soviet 1920s, this article argues that the revolutionary state pursued an antitobacco policy unique in the world in its attack on tobacco use at a national scale. The commissar of public health, Nikolai Alexandrovich Semashko, attempted to severely curtail tobacco cultivation and production, limit tobacco sales, and…
Propagandizing the Healthy, Bolshevik Life in the Early USSR
This essay outlines the problems facing Soviet health authorities at the inception of the People’s Commissariat of Public Health in 1918 and the innovative methods employed in sanitary enlightenment propaganda in Russia throughout the 1920s. Beset by funding issues and supply problems, the emissaries of health chose the cheapest means of health improvement (propaganda) with the most cost-effective method (prevention), and crowed of great successe…
Paula A. Michaels. Lamaze: An International History
In 1951, the French obstetrician Fernand Lamaze traveled to the Soviet Union and witnessed a birth with psychoprophylactic techniques. Inspired, he returned to France to spread the word and then became an international apostle of the method. In this fascinating and judiciously argued work, Paula A. Michaels details not just Lamaze's initial conversion but also the political, social, and economic pressures that led to sometimes subtle, other times…

Body Soviet: Propaganda, Hygiene, and the Revolutionary State
In 1918 the People's Commissariat of Public Health began a quest to protect the health of all citizens, but health became more than a political platform or a tactical decision. Soviets defined and categorized the world by interpreting political orthodoxy and citizenship in terms of hygiene. assumed political, social, and cultural benefits of a regulated, healthy lifestyle informed the construction of institutions and identity. Cleanliness develop…
Red Star/Black Lungs: Anti-Tobacco Campaigns in Twentieth-Century Russia
This paper examines two major Soviet anti-smoking campaigns—one in the 1920s and the other in the late 1970s. Each occurs in a period of demographic crisis as part of larger public health efforts. Each ultimately fails. In 1920, the leader of the People’s Commissariat of Health, N. Semashko, began a campaign against tobacco with the support of V. I. Lenin. He proposed restrictions on access, use, and production of tobacco. Faced with the needs of…
A Revolutionary Home: Housekeeping and Social Duty in the 1920s
This examination of Soviet policy on domestic organisation (with a specific concentration on Moscow) finds that, despite Lenin’s calls to liberate women from the tyranny of the hearth, Soviet hygienists’ programmes for the care of the home did not differ sharply from contemporaneous examples in the West or from pre‐revolutionary ideas. Though health authorities emphasised the importance of maintaining the home for the health of society, this did …
A Fertile Mother Russia: Pronatalist Propaganda in Revolutionary Russia
The Soviet consultation with its attendant propaganda, visiting nurses, and vacation homes attempted to set science and the doctor as the ultimate authority in matters of child rearing in place of old authorities, deny the contention that motherhood was a natural ability of women, and take over the father's place in the home. Soviet health care policy bridged pre- and postrevolutionary thought, blurred the boundaries between public and private, a…
