«Russian Cross» - so called the demographic phenomenon of the mass extinction of Russia. There are many explanations for this, but one reason usually remains behind the scenes...

Heart problems
In the 90th reached his peak mortality from cardiovascular diseases. This reason has carried out more human lives than suicide, accidents and alcoholism, it was 55.3% of the total deaths at that time.
This peak came suddenly, but in fact, the prerequisites for him were very long and began to be formed in the Soviet Union. Mortality from cardiovascular diseases was high already in the 70s. Then for the first time the trend was designated — People began to die more due to heart problems than with any other internal bodies.
Mortality B «Stagnation years» was 47.5%.
For developed countries, it was quite characteristic, since the stability of the economy allowed most of the population to eat, without limiting themselves in food, and therefore people consumed without restrictions and those products that violates the normal operation of the body.
However, with similar mortality from cardiovascular diseases in the West, in the 70s began to beat the alarm. The brightest example — Finland. In these years, she even launched a national program to combat cardiovascular diseases.
What did in other countries?
In Finland, traditionally farms were meat-milk. Farms were transferred from the Father to the Son, therefore the commitment to such a food culture from Finns was even stronger than we.
When our country experienced an era «stagnation», In Finland, a project started «North Karelia», As part of which the eating habits are completely rebuilt — Now the basis of the diet was the vegetable products. Meat and dairy products, which previously consumed Finns three times a day, began to produce mostly for export, and not for internal consumption to reduce the number of saturated fats and cholesterol in the diet. It is these components of food provoke the development of cardiovascular diseases. Due to this mortality began to fall, for 30 years of work of the national program, it decreased by 80%.
Other European and US countries also took any measures to reduce mortality, entering their own nutrition guidelines or implementing programs based on the guidelines.
In the Union, the situation, on the contrary, was exacerbated, and in the 90th ulcers, it was still opened, by summing up a mortality rate from cardiovascular diseases.
Habit is eater
Traditionally, in Russia preferences were given preferences with high fatty.
It has always been explained by the cold climate: to saturate and ensure the work of the body, the energy is needed, and it is the biggest way out of it. At the same time, other northern countries, such as Norway and Sweden, eat at all wrong — fish and vegetables, berries, although their climate is also far from tropical. Less fatty products also provide Swedes and Norwegians with energy, and the problem of cardiovascular diseases did not acquire such scales in these countries as in our country.
We love meat soups, cutlets, and no one doubted the benefits of dairy products. The milk was considered nutritious, necessary at any age, so it was dug in unlimited quantities, without giving the meanings that milk fat provokes an increase in blood cholesterol and, as a result, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, ischemic heart disease. All these diseases were perceived as inevitable old age satellites.
When milk boils
In 1987, milk boiled and ran away: in the Union, the Foreign Trade Restrictions were removed, the USSR became tons to sell milk to other countries. We have become leaders of the production of high fatty butter — 82.5%. 1 person accounted for 26% more cream oil than in the UK. In addition, the peak reached the retail sale of dairy products within the country — 1 thousand. 100 tons.
55.7 million was produced.Ton of milk. Today for us this is an unattainable plank — In 2012, despite repeated billionth infusion in the industry, production was only 31.8 million.tons.
Who «pass cows» In the post-Soviet Russia?
After opening the gate, imported milk also knocked into our country. Starting from 14% on the market, the pressure increased, almost thoring the faucet: butter in beautiful «Overseas» packs, milk, cream flooded shelves.
In the post-Soviet market «grace their cows» Germany, France, Denmark, Baltic countries, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand. Interestingly, it is these countries in the early 90s who reduced the consumption of dairy products within the state. This was done as part of the World Health Organization Program for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention. To «Sare» Products Imported manufacturers sold it at a price even lower than the wholesale price of Russian manufacturers by 10-20%, butter was worth 15-25% cheaper.
Interestingly, the peak of mortality from heart disease and vessels came exactly for the 90th year, when the dairy machine worked smoothly, despite the general degradation of production.
«On you, god that we are not gag»
According to the Russian Union of the enterprises of the dairy industry, and today, with increasing volumes of production and exports of dairy products from the EU countries, in the EU itself, its consumption falls, preference is given, mainly degreased and enriched products.
In general, in the last recent decades in high-income countries, mortality from cardiovascular diseases decreased by 75% in men and 65% in women.
We also continue to grow. In the two thousandths, the restoration of the economy begins, the country, it would seem, should sigh with relief. But with the growth of well-being, we began to buy more than our traditionally favorite dairy products. The lack of our own foreign countries compensated for us «friends» — Importing dairy products to the Russian market began to gain momentum. However, in mortality during this period, Russia was ahead of only Afghanistan, Ukraine and some poorest African countries, including those affected by the HIV epidemic. Today, mortality due to the fault of cardiovascular diseases is 55% of all other reasons, but in certain regions it is even more than 60%.
How many breeches
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, the consumption of milk in Russia is 247 liters per year per capita. The Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS) allows for significantly more use of dairy products — up to 370 l per year, but this rate is installed for people without shash in health, t.E. not high risk development of heart disease and vessels. Factors for the development of the disease Many: sitting, elevated level of cholesterol, unbalanced nutrition smoking, alcoholism, metabolic disorders, diabetes. Alas, in this reality almost our whole lives «New Russia».
Optimal for the risk of people, especially, the elderly, is consumption less than 200 liters per year. It is better to consume skimmed products, especially this is important for children and the elderly, the body of which cannot withstand fat attack.
Conspiracy?
But the supply of oily dairy products to Russia continues to grow. So, the share of imports in the cream oil market varies in the range of 40-42%. Interesting Facts: Main Cream Oil Importers — New Zealand and Finland — consume only 10-15% of the product produced.
It can be assumed that the avalanche of the import of the milk to our market — This is a conspiracy and shadow continuation of the Cold War. After all, merging your milk in our «Bidone», Importers themselves reduce his share in their consumption.
And you can think that it is just a business on our blood. In any case, we lose.
Even if abundant exports to our country of dairy products is not the result of a planned strategy for imposing heart disease to the population, then a friendly gesture — too. Russia with its natural resources and extensive territories is not only a lacking piece, but also the source of irrational fear of neighbors in front of something large and fully understandable.
Western countries have never fed to us sincere love and sympathy, it happened historically. They are unlikely to be interested in being healthy, lived long and happily.
