Scientific Antivivisectionism on the Way to Russia Just beginning to work on the book 1000 Doctors (and many more) Against Vivisection, right on its first pages I read that as it turned out in the enormous Soviet Union – that was the name of our country until 1991, and its territory was much greater then – less animal experiments had been held than in tiny Switzerland. This fact amazed me – first, in any case it is nearly impossible to imagine such a ratio, second, we know the situation with animal protection in our country from inside and know the specifics of Russian mentality. And the latter bears a great imprint of hard and at times even tragic Russian history when people had to struggle in order not to die from hunger in strict sense. And the motherland of great humanitarians Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky at the same time remains one of few countries where there is no law for protection of animals against cruelty, and where vets sometimes have either to cancel the operation or operate without narcosis because in case of using anesthesia imprisonment for keeping narcotics threatens them. - hansruesch.net/articoli/AK.html - hansruesch.net/articoli/AK.pdf
