Excerpt
Introduction The dramatic mortality fluctuations in the Russian Federation since the mid-1980s have attracted considerable attention (1, 2). During the societal transformation that followed the fall of communism, Russian mortality increased dramatically between 1990 and 1994 and it has been fluctuating since then. The scale of the mortality changes is striking; between 1990 and 1994 alone, the rise in mortality was equivalent to more than two million additional deaths above long-term mortality rates (3). While it has been recognized that the causes of the mortality crisis are complex (3, 4), it has been proposed that alcohol was an important proximal cause of these changes (1, 5). Although moderate drinking has been shown to reduce mortality (6), there is evidence from the USA and Finland that a pattern of binge drinking is related to increased mortality (7–11). The hypothesised powerful role of alcohol has been attributed to the binge drinking pattern common in the Russian Federation (12–14).
