The level of alcohol consumption in Russia is among the highest in the world and is often associated with a variety of problems in the country. Until recently, however, it was impossible to examine the health and social burdens associated with consumption in Russia due to Soviet secrecy surrounding vital statistics and health data related to alcohol and other topics. This study employed newly available mortality data to describe the demographic, temporal, and spatial patterns of mortality resulting directly from chronic and acute alcohol consumption in the country. The data reveal that in spite of high overall rates of alcohol-related mortality in Russia, levels of mortality vary considerably along these dimensions. Although descriptive in nature, the patterns of alcohol-related mortality in Russia presented here should provide initial observations with which to generate and test hypotheses concerning the causes and consequences of these patterns.
俄罗斯的酒精消费水平位居世界前列，且常常与该国的一系列问题相关联。然而，直到最近，由于苏联对包括酒精及其他主题在内的重要统计数据和健康数据保密，人们仍无法对俄罗斯饮酒所带来的健康和社会负担进行研究。本研究利用最新可得的死亡率数据，来描述该国慢性和急性酒精消费直接导致的死亡在人口统计学、时间和空间上的模式。数据显示，尽管俄罗斯与酒精相关的总体死亡率较高，但在这些维度上，死亡率水平差异很大。尽管本研究本质上是描述性的，但这里呈现的俄罗斯与酒精相关的死亡模式，应能提供初步观察结果，用以生成和检验关于这些模式的成因及后果的假设。
