“…Smoking tobacco accounted for 71.3% of this TNP use which equates to a smoking prevalence of 19.1% [ 8 ]. Indigenous groups in Russia have been found to have a higher prevalence and higher initiation of smoking during late childhood and adolescence compared to the dominant Russian (Slavic) ethnic groups [ 9 ]. However, Indigenous ethnic group prevalence of TNP use, such as heated tobacco products (HTPs), vaping and snus, remains unclear [ 9 ].…”

“…Russia is a signatory to the FCTC, which encourages countries to take measures to promote the participation of Indigenous people in the development, implementation and assessment of tobacco control programmes, and to ensure that such programmes are socially and culturally appropriate to their needs and perspectives. We could find no information about programmes focused on smoking cessation and harm reduction among Indigenous Peoples in Russia [ 9 ].…”

Russia is among the top ten nations in terms of smoking prevalence. Little is known about smoking rates among Indigenous Peoples in Russia. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of tobacco and nicotine product use among Kola peninsula Sámi. An exploratory cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine tobacco or nicotine product use among 505 Sámi people (about 30% of the whole Sámi population of Russia). Over 60% of participants had tried tobacco or nicotine products. Median age of first use was 15 years, with cigarettes being the most frequent first product tried and the most common type of product used currently. About a third of participants used a tobacco or nicotine product at least occasionally; 25% (predominantly males) smoked at least occasionally with 23.8% smoking daily. Of participants who smoked, 52.5% scored medium and 44.2% scored high on the Heaviness of Smoking Index. Seventeen percent of participants smoked formerly but not currently. Like some other Indigenous Peoples, Kola Sámi in Russia have a higher smoking prevalence than the average among the Russian population. Interest in a smoking cessation mobile app designed for the Sámi population suggests that such an intervention could help to reduce this inequity.

“…During the Soviet period, the issues of advertising activities were usually ignored since, in the conditions of a planned economy, advertising was not in demand. Only in the post-Soviet epoch, the attention to the history, theory, and practice of advertising today has significantly increased on the part of both domestic and foreign researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Nevertheless, within the boundaries of the designated topic, there are many unfilled niches, such as the influence of pre-Soviet traditions and Soviet innovations on advertising activities, the construction of methods and characteristics of this activity under the influence of socio-cultural features of the NEP period, etc.…”

The publication analyzes the advertising practice in Soviet Russia (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) in the 1920s - during the period of the new economic policy. The reasons for the advertising renaissance during the NEP period are indicated, the leading of which are the refusal of the Bolshevik leadership from the policy of "war communism" and the restoration of exchange relations. The author's opinion is justified, according to which commercial advertising during the NEP was a synthesis of pre-Soviet methods and Soviet innovations, and the latter modified not only the style of advertising activities but also its goals and objectives, giving them a politicized character. The article considers and characterizes both the socio-cultural specifics of the NEP and its impact on commercial advertising in the RSFSR (USSR). Which were expressed in the creation of innovative advertising texts and visual images, ideologization and a certain militarization of the advertising language, etc.
