Бесплатный доступ

The article focuses on the practice of integrating Zhenjiu therapy into the health care system of the USSr, which took place against the backdrop of the development of large-scale cooperation between the USSr and China in the 1950s. The Soviet medical community, which was formed under the influence of the concept of medical police and Bolshevik ideology, was skeptical of traditional medicine, so the use of Zhenjiu therapy in the USSr presents a rare case of integrating traditional medicine methods into the rigid Soviet healthcare system. The author concludes that the integration of Zhenjiu therapy into the healthcare system of the USSr became possible due to the influence of scientific-medical, ideological and political factors.
