ABSTRACT

Russia is the third society in which medicine examines comparatively within a neo-Weberian approach in terms of its relationship to the state and the market. This chapter considers which need to ensures consistency in analyzing the comparative development of the medical profession across the Britain, the United States and Russia diverse countries and the predominantly neo-Weberian lens employed in their study, the focus on deprofessionalization. The medical profession in Russia in the latter half of the nineteenth century, it needs to be understood that Russia was not as industrialized as either Britain or the United States at this time. As regards the changing political context, in 1991 the Russian Federation was born when Yeltsin was elected president of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which then became an independent federation, with its own council. Medical success seems increasingly unlikely under Putin's leadership, with so many state-centrist vestiges from the Soviet period.
