Show Notes

Based on past conflicts, if Russia takes over in Ukraine, it's likely that some of Ukraine's public health policies will be essentially rewritten or revoked overnight. Dr. Chris Beyrer returns to the podcast to talk with Stephanie Desmon about Russia's history of revoking life-saving public health policies and imposing its own "traditional" laws like targeting homosexuals for harrassment and assault, cruel detox practices for people who use drugs, decriminalizing domestic abuse, and more violations of human rights. A content warning that the podcast contains discussions of these and other examples of violence.
