"This book is an immense contribution to the public health literature that provides readers with a complex picture of the HIV crisis in Russia. It also calls for our greater admiration of HIV/AIDS NGOs that have key roles in confronting HIV/AIDS in Russia and whose dedication and care are at the very heart of slowly emerging civil society in Russia." - Yuri A Amirkhanian, The Lancet
