In Russia, the improvement of forensic psychiatric care (and prison health care) will be affected by the level of economic development. The reintegration of Russian psychiatry into the international psychiatric community needs to be maintained. The future of forensic psychiatry in Russia is no longer dependent on an ideology in which psychiatrists are essentially seen as agents of State control. While general and forensic psychiatry in both Russia and Britain needs to seek to balance the needs of patients with the safety of the public, it must retain its practice independently of the state in both countries.
