Focusing on the efforts of Bolsheviks and Soviet physicians, the book examines their commitment to improving the health of the proletariat and peasantry through a collectivist approach. Utilizing declassified archival materials and health propaganda, it explores their ambitions to eliminate diseases and establish a socialist welfare state. The analysis reveals the reasons behind the failure of this transformative vision, providing insights into the intersection of health policy and political ideology in early Soviet society.
