The popular emergency contraception drugs Postinor and Escapelle can now be sold over the counter in Russia after the Russian Health Ministry reclassified them as non-prescription drugs, reports Kommersant.

Postinor and Escapelle are medications containing the active ingredient levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestogen hormone). They differ in dosage but have the same effect.

At the end of 2023, Russia’s Health Ministry added misoprostol and mifepristone, which are used in medical abortion, to its list of drugs subject to specific quantity control. Mifepristone is also used in small doses as an emergency contraceptive. Drugs on the list are subject to strict record-keeping by hospitals and pharmacies, and doctors are only able to prescribe medications containing them using a special form that requires extensive information and multiple official stamps.

The fact that the Health Ministry restricted the distribution of drugs containing misoprostol and mifepristone while allowing non-prescription status for levonorgestrel has raised questions among those in the pharmaceutical market. Nikolay Bespalov, development director of the market research company RNC Pharma, said the decision amounted to “giving certain market players more favorable conditions.”

In response, the Russian Health Ministry told Kommersant that levonorgestrel and mifepristone belong to different pharmacotherapeutic groups and emphasized that control measures for drugs from different pharmacotherapeutic groups should not be compared.

started reading this book, "Ukrainian Svalbard" by Maksym Bespalov. was very invested and intrigued by the whole story, people's backgrounds, their thoughts and feelings and how they described it all to the author, till i reached the point where i found out all of these Ukrainians from Donbas that the author has been talking to(in most cases i would call that interviewing) have consciously decided to give up on living in Ukraine for a salary of approximately 500$ per month and a very small de jure Norwegian, de facto russian town(by which i mean the mining station that the miners work in is russian, and they even got a russian embassy somewhere in the town. the salaries are also paid by a russian mining company) with a strong scent of communism in the air and barely any people walking down the streets. the way Bespalov depicts it is also a little unsettling to me, taking in count that it's 2016 he's writing about. fair enough, he's only trying to take it all professional, as a journalist, and wants to(as far as i understand) portrait everything he sees or hears from a neutral point of view of a silent observer. straight, dry facts, even though they're not left without writer's charm. a little Balsack-like. however, no matter how polite Bespalov tried to be in his writing manner, i still feel the rage burst inside of me - a silent protest against comprehension of how these (formerly) Ukrainian miners ended up betraying their country, fully aware of their actions and the consequences. there are, most likely, better ways to picture how hopeless the whole Barentsburg and its people are, or how remote they are from today's reality, in all of the possible senses. how they are hopelessly stuck in a reality that doesn't even exist anymore; how they cherish and celebrate living in it. not even post-soviet, but desperately soviet minds. the story itself could have a very different angle, a different shade, just by a slight change in author's perspective. but - i consider it a good try, mr. Bespalov. you got me this once. you got my attention and i was patient enough to hold on. i do not regret anything. thank you for introducing me to a whole new world - though it is not really Ukrainian, as you called it, but Soviet Svalbard.

We realized we were already in a state of war…

Some parallels on and off the ice in the SNV vs PRE series...

During their third (and last) match things continued to be heated and apparently the tension carried over to the stands. Prešov may have advanced to the quarterfinals, but their arena security appears to be trailing behind. source

Chernobyl divers, Valeri Bespalov, Boris Baranov, Alexei Ananenko. Unexpectedly, they all survived. Two of them are still alive today.
