Encod chair sends letter to Mr. Putin
Ljubljana, 20 March 2014
Dear President Putin,
I would like to address the drug policy and public health implications of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. This note intentionally steers clear of any political analysis of or opinion on the situation on the ground. What I’d like to suggest is that, in contrast to its domestic policy to date, Russia now has the opportunity (and perhaps an excuse) to initiate a new public health policy. It can do this by both supporting and expanding the development of the network of Harm Reduction services already successfully at work in Crimea.
