metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Based on a range of empirical studies, the article discusses the contemporary challenges and contradictions
  for the development of preventive medicine in Russia amongst the enormous distrust
  of the population towards preventive medical measures. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic,
  the discussion about preventive medical actions as a necessary measure for maintaining
  national security has assumed new importance. While the Russian government tries to reduce
  the epidemiological and economic risks by strengthening control and involving the population
  in preventive procedures, “coronavirus restrictions” have caused significant discontent among
  the population. The protest voices of “COVID dissidents” are heard loudly in public spaces, and
  the arguments of opponents of vaccination are widespread in Russian society. However, even
  before the pandemic, the wary attitude of the population towards vaccinations and preventive
  measures was already acutely problematic. In 2020–2021 a sociological study was conducted
  to identify a number of objective and subjective factors of public (dis)trust towards preventive
  medical measures, and, in general, the value attitude towards health and preventive care in Russian
  society. The analysis showed the sensitive points of the Russian’s attitude to preventive medicine
  and issues of health promotions, demonstrating the existing stereotypes and fears of people,
  as well as the problems of modern preventive medicine in general and vaccination. The authors
  conclude that the problem of institutional (dis)trust is key for the development of preventive
  medicine in Russia. Without voluntary and interested participation of the population in medical
  practices, the development of the modern concept of predictive, preventive, personalised and
  participative medicine will not be successful.
