Vienna, February 28 – Heroin originating in the poppy fields of Afghanistan still constitutes the greatest narcotics danger to public health in the Russian Federation, according to a Moscow commentator. But increasing misuse of prescription medicines imported from Asian countries is now adding to that overall “threat to the [country’s] national security.”
In an article posted today on the website of the Strategic Culture Foundation, Aleksandr Barentsev says that the use of illegal drugs is now killing as many as 30,000 Russians a year, twice the officially reported “losses of the Armed Forces of the USSR over the entire ten years of the Afghan war!” (www.fondsk.ru/article.php?id=1953).
Most of the opiates originating in Afghanistan come into Russia from “the countries of the near abroad,” with “60 percent” of the total transiting Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan.” And while much of the flow is intended to go ...
