The problem of viral hepatitis is close to its solution. In 2016 WHO Global Health Sector Strategy for Viral Hepatitis for 2016–2021 has set the task for hepatitis control and elimination, and identified how to address it. The development of such a program has become possible due to the obtained fundamental knowledge about the nature of viral hepatitis, which allows to achieve this ambitious goal. Undoubtedly, the implementation of a program to control viral hepatitis in Russia, based on modern scientific knowledge and the realities of the epidemic process, will make it possible to solve the problem of controlling these diseases. However, new problems arise on this path. This publication addresses some of the current issues, in conjunction with own data. These problems may include: the possibility of the wide spread of hepatitis A virus among certain populations (hepatitis A outbreak in the USA in 2017–2018); the interspecies transmission of HEV from animals to humans; problems encountered in the implementation of the program for mass vaccination against HBV («Vaccine audit»); the history and characteristics of the circulation of the hepatitis D virus in various territories; distribution of circulating forms of the hepatitis C virus with drug resistance to direct-acting drugs (interferon-free therapy). New knowledge on the above mentioned issues are crucial for the successful implementation of the program for the control of viral hepatitis.
