The author of this paper discusses and advocates the following hypothesis: If a population experiences hardship, injustice or any other political grievance, and that population does not express these grievances in form of a conflict, it might be more inclined toward stress and depression. This, in turn, can lead to other diseases. She makes her case by using Russia as an example, arguing that there appear to be some causal connections between unexpressed political frustration and Russia's public health crisis.
