I contend that therapeutic landscapes are centrally important in shaping public health understandings of alcohol-related illnesses in Russia. I demonstrate that therapeutic landscapes are not only places with significant health importance and unique healing qualities. Instead, such spaces and places are productive of health geographies and public health discourses. I base my argument as an extension of therapeutic landscape analysis and an examination of contrasting approaches to dealing with alcohol related illnesses in Russia: narcology, the 12 steps, and New Public Health. I specifically show how rehabilitation and illness are both materially and discursively constructed in each therapeutic landscape. In doing so, I link the practices in each landscape to the broader structural public health conceptualizations of alcohol-related illness. application/pdf en_US Copyright is held by the individual authors.
