The Russian pharmaceutical market faced serious challenges between 1992 and 2004. The quality of medications was a major concern. It was not just about health. It was also about creating a structured market. The media, government departments, and politicians all had strong opinions. They debated and argued. There were heated discussions, personal ambitions, and financial setbacks. The location of power in the market determined who would control the quality. This, in turn, influenced the assessment of all players in the pharmaceutical industry.
