Laurie Taylor talks to Ivan Markovic, Lecturer in Human Geography at Durham University, about the unique social atmosphere surrounding tobacco use in modern Britain, from its encouragement as part of the Home Front ‘mood management' during the Second World War to the impact of smoking on 1980s workplace regulations and the UK ban on its use in public places in 2007. Does smoking still play a significant part in the British cultural imagination? Also, Tricia Starks, Professor of History at the University of Arkansas, discusses cigarettes and the Soviet smoking habit. How did the USSR become the first mass smoking society whilst simultaneously opposing this quintessential capitalist product?Producer: Jayne Egerton
Tricia Starks' latest book, "Cigarettes and Soviets: Smoking in the USSR," is one of six nominees for the 2023 Pushkin House Book Prize. Also on today's show, the Ozark Mountain Soul Festival is returning for its second year, Republican Congressman Steve Womack chimes in on debt ceiling negotiations and more.
Seeing cigarette smoking as a cultural phenomenon of Western modernity is perhaps easier when the test case is outside the US where the narrative is dominated by Big Bad Tobacco and litigation. Tricia Starks's two volume study does just that. Her second volume, Cigarettes and Soviets: Smoking in the USSR (Cornell University Press, 2022) traces the rise and fall of cigarettes during the Soviet period. (Her first volume covered the pre-Revolutionary era.) In a beautifully written and jargon-free account illustrated with dozens of color plates, Starks tracks how the early revolutionaries tried unsuccessfully to combat mass smoking, how subsequent Soviet leaders made peace with it, and how in the post-war period, Soviet health authorities slowly made inroads against smoking, albeit with different arguments than those used in the anti-tobacco campaigns in the West.

This collection of articles, edited by Matthew Romaniello, Alison Smith, Tricia Starks, takes up the history of material culture over the past several centuries of Russian history. Widely diverse objects such as maps, textiles, building materials, cigarette cases,fish guts (yes...), samovars, samizdat, and even the T-34 tank are viewed in light of their role in Russian society. Hence the collection's striking and unusual title: The Life Cycle of Russian Things: From Fish Guts to Faberge, 1600 to the Present (Bloomsbury Academic, 2022).

Этот подкаст раньше выходил на «Медузе», а теперь его выпускает студия «Техника речи»Это второй эпизод медицинского подкаста «История болезни», и он посвящен раку легкого. Научный журналист Александр Ершов делится статистикой по этому виду рака (спойлер: заболеваемость им падает во всем мире) и констатирует, «что абсолютные цифры все равно ужасающие». Журналистка Кристина Фарберова задается вопросом — угрожает ли рак легкого некурящим (и снова спойлер: да, есть и другие факторы риска). А онколог Федор Моисеенко объясняет, какими методами лечения рака легкого располагает современная медицина. Этот подкаст «Медуза» записывает вместе с фармацевтической компанией «Новартис». В выпуске: 01:50 Что такое рак легкого: как он возникает и кому грозит 09:03 Теория подталкивания: нужно ли запрещать людям курить 13:10 Пассивное курение: правда ли оно такое вредное 15:38 Зачем мы курим: что такое никотин и как он вызывает зависимость 27:37 Если вы не курите: есть ли другие факторы риска развития рака легкого 34:50 Как диагностируют и лечат рак легкого сегодня: рассказывает врач-онколог Федор Моисеенко А также ссылки: Сайт Минздрава США, где можно узнать, какую диагностику делать Данные Американского онкологического общества по раку легких Глобальный опрос взрослого населения о потреблении тaбака И книги: Ася Казанцева. «Кто бы мог подумать!»Matthew Romaniello, Tricia Starks. «Tobacco in Russian History and Culture»
How and when did Russia become a country of smokers? Why did makhorka and papirosy become ubiquitous products of tobacco consumption? Tricia Starks explores these themes as well as the connections between tobacco, gender, and empire in her latest monograph, Smoking Under the Tsars: A History of Tobacco in Imperial Russia (Cornell University Press, 2018). Starks illustrates how tobacco influenced facets of life, politics, morality, and culture in the 19th century from the perspectives of tobacco users, producers, and objectors. The book includes full-color ads for tobacco and papirosy cigarettes that add to the book's rich prose. From Tolstoy's anti-tobacco screed to the “Tobacco Queens” of St. Petersburg, Starks uses primary sources to craft an edifying narrative of the history of tobacco and tobacco consumption in the imperial period. Tricia Starks is Professor of History at the University of Arkansas. Her research interests include Russian and Soviet history, public health and the history of medicine, as well as culture and gender. Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon is a History Instructor at Lee College.
