The topic of this book is invasive procedures used in Russia without sufficient indications. Related issues are discussed in separate chapters: medical education and postgraduate training, scientific misconduct, child and elder abuse, sexual and reproductive coercion, the Ukraine conflict. Among others, the following is discussed: the overuse of gastrectomy for peptic ulcers, of thoracic surgery for tuberculosis, bronchial asthma and other respiratory diseases, overtreatment of radiation-related lesions, excessive and compulsory treatments of alcoholics. Considering the breast cancer incidence, millions of women in Russia underwent Halsted mastectomy with removal of pectoral muscles without indications. This topic is interconnected with certain features of Russian healthcare, namely paternalism, disregard for the principles of informed consent and professional autonomy. One of the motives of surgical hyper-radicalism is the training of medical personnel with the objective of readiness for war. Measures for improvement of the healthcare in Russia must include participation of authorised foreign advisors.

Sergei V Jargin started his education in medicine in 1973 and graduated from Sechenov Medical Academy in Moscow, Russia in 1983. He received postgraduate training in pathology at the same institution until 1986. Thereafter, he was a pathologist and lecturer at the I.M. Sechenov Medical Academy, Russia (recently renamed university). Since 1995, he has been a lecturer at the Peoples' Friendship University in Moscow, Russia. He is the author of The overestimation of medical consequences of low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation, The conflict in Ukraine: Psychopathology and social aspects, and Misconduct in medical research and practice. Some of his most relevant journal articles include: Invasive procedures with questionable indications, Bronchoscopy in children for research with questionable indications: An overview of Russian patents and publications, Some aspects of the surgical and endoscopic treatment of tuberculosis in Russia and Child abuse in Russia.
