Today, Russia is a country in which a variety of illegal drugs are produced, transited to final markets in Western Europe, and consumed by a growing number of young people. This research conducts analysis of the drug consumption spread and growth in Russia. Following the rapid increase of illegal drug use, the market itself has expanded in both its turnover and its geographic extension, so much that illegal drugs of some kind are available even in the most remote parts of the country. Besides home-made products or derivatives of locally-grown plants, illicit psychoactive drugs that can be found in any Western European or North American city are imported from countries as far away as Colombia, Afghanistan and Holland. The research also presents the findings on the drug trade peculiarities and domestic distribution channels in Russia over the 1990s.
