|Tsarist Russia||During the times of [[wikipedia:Slavery in Russia|Slavery in Russia]], the health conditions of the population range starting from a calamitous level. Generally, lack of preventive measures against diseases results in a very high mortality rate among both adults and children. Severe sanitary neglect, filth and unhygienic living conditions prevail. Six epidemis of Asiatic [[wikipedia:cholera|cholera]] strike Russia and claim over 2 million human lifes in the country.<ref name="Disease, Health Care and Government in Late Imperial Russia: Life and Death">{{cite book|last1=Henze|first1=Charlotte E.|title=Disease, Health Care and Government in Late Imperial Russia: Life and Death|url=https://books.google.com.ar/books?id=03mrAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA11&lpg=PA11&dq=healthcare+czarist+russia&source=bl&ots=Sbo8HMhIxK&sig=k53lWPKyYzH15Q3OA6dRx_JWEXQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjklaj9sZXQAhWHDpAKHf_aApcQ6AEIJTAC#v=onepage&q=healthcare%20czarist%20russia&f=false|accessdate=7 November 2016}}</ref>

|1922–1991||[[wikipedia:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Soviet Russia]] builds a totally socialist health care model ([[wikipedia:Nikolai Semashko (medicine)|Semashko system]]) with a centralized, integrated, hierarchically organized with the government providing state-funded health care to all citizens. All health personnel are state employees. Control of communicable diseases have priority over non-communicable ones. On the whole, the system tends to primary care, and places much emphasis on specialist and hospital care. Universal healthcare is established in 1930s  and  1940s  as  part  of rapid modernization and industrialization.<ref name="Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation">{{cite web|title=Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation|url=http://www.unrisd.org/80256B3C005BCCF9/(httpAuxPages)/3C45C5A972BF063BC1257DF1004C5420/$file/Cook.pdf|accessdate=28 October 2016}}</ref>
|-
|1991–2000||Period following the [[wikipedia:dissolution of the Soviet Union|dissolution of the Soviet Union]].  Russia’s statist political  economy implodes, and its healthcare system is thrown into crisis. Public expenditures on health  decline dramatically, following a decade-long decline in the economy. Health indicators plummet.  Male life expectancy decline to below 60 years. Infectious diseases re-emerge and  spread, and even childhood immunization programs collapse temporarily in parts of the  country.<ref name="Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation" />
|-
|2000–2010||The Russian healthcare system recovers substantially in terms of financing,  performance, organizational coherence and health  outcomes. Rapid growth the economy from 2000 to 2007 allows growth in spending for public healthcare<ref name="Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation" /><ref name="worldbank">{{Cite web|url=http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTRUSSIANFEDERATION/Resources/PublicSpendingInRussiaforHealthCare.pdf|title=Public Spending in Russia for Healthcare}}</ref> and by 2006 the figure exceeds the pre-1991 level in real terms.<ref name="worldbank" /> Also there's an increase in life expectancy from 1991-93 levels, and a decrease in infant mortality from 18.1 in 1995 to 8.4 in 2008.<ref name="demoscope.ru">{{Cite web|url=http://demoscope.ru/weekly/pril.php|title=Russian State Institute of Demography}}</ref>  By 2010, the worst effects on health indicators reverse.<ref name="Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation" /> However, health in [[wikipedia:Russia|Russia]] remains well below the levels of developed countries.
|-
|2010–present||Today, Russia's healthare system has recovered substantially from the crisis conditions of the 1990s. However, it is still characterized by its low efficiency, with outcomes similar to those of countries far less developed. As of 2016, life expectancy in Russia is lower that those of countries like Belize, Nepal and Bangla Desh.<ref name="Constraints on Universal Health Care   in the Russian Federation" /><ref name="life expectancy" />
