Zusammenfassung

Der Zugang zur internationalen Fachliteratur war in der ehemaligen Sowjetunion eingeschränkt, was Rückstände in der medizinischen Praxis und Forschung zur Folge hatte. Einige Beispiele werden in diesem Brief besprochen. Der Literaturmangel wurde teilweise von einheimischen Ausgaben ausgeglichen, die manchmal ungenaue Informationen, Textentlehnungen ohne Verweise und Übersetzungsfehler enthielten. Ausländische Literaturquellen werden in russischsprachigen Fachpublikationen durchschnittlich wenig zitiert. Heute, angesichts des ökonomischen Aufschwungs, gibt es Gründe für Optimismus.

Summary

Limited access to foreign professional literature in the former Soviet Union had consequences for public health: persistence of some outdated methods and approaches. Several examples are discussed in this letter. The shortage of foreign literature has been partly compensated by domestic editions, sometimes containing compilations from foreign sources, borrowings without references, and mistranslations. International literature is on average scarcely quoted in Russian language scientific publications. Today, however, there are grounds for optimism: the economic upturn must bring improvements.
