Title: Public health in Russia in 2021
Abstract: In 2021, the Russian public health system continued to operate under extreme overload induced by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection. In many respects, the second year of the pandemic turned out to be harder than the first one. Despite the measures taken to prepare medical institutions and launch of large-scale immunization, Russia failed to achieve a steady decline in losses from COVID-19 and return to pre-pandemic volumes of medical services provision in other public health areas.
