Health world views of post-soviet citizens
The collapse of the Soviet Union has had an adverse impact on the lives of 
the peoples of Russia and Ukraine. This paper reports on qualitative case 
studies including interviews, focus groups and children's essays from Russia 
and Ukraine, on the topics of everyday understanding of health and the 
factors influencing it. The majority report poor health and difficult 
material circumstances. Their understandings of health and illness are 
multifactorial and include emotional as well as descriptive elements. Whilst 
the most frequently cited definition of health is of people with/without 
health problems, it is evident that health is seen positively, as more than 
the absence of debilitating illness. There is a strong emphasis on 
individual responsibility for health and evidence that people are thought to 
have a moral responsibility to strive to be healthy. However, there is also 
a strong awareness that the major factors which cause ill health are beyond 
their control. The findings p!
rovide additional support for the health lifestyles theory that has been 
developed to provide a sociological understanding of the mortality crisis in 
the former Soviet Union.
