| description | Background. The coronavirus pandemic has actualized interest in studying the
process of forming a system of anti-epidemic measures, the origins of which in our country
go back to the 19th century. The most important incentive to create a unified system of antiepidemic
measures during this period was the need to combat cholera epidemics. The purpose
of the study is to analyze the activities of various government and public structures at the
regional level during one of the most large-scale epidemic cholera in 1892. Materials and
methods. To implement the tasks set, comparative historical and statistical methods of analyzing
documents of various public administration structures and local self-government
bodies of the epidemic period extracted from the funds of the State Archive of Penza Region
were used. Results. The methods of organizing anti-epidemic measures carried out in Penza
province, the distribution of roles between various structures involved in the fight against
cholera are investigated. The effectiveness of the system of anti-cholera measures developed
during the epidemic is analyzed. Conclusions. The limitation of the incidence of cholera in
Penza province during the epidemic of 1892 was facilitated by the creation by the efforts of
state institutions, local governments, the medical community and public organizations of a
unified system of anti-epidemic measures, some principles of which remain relevant at the
present stage. The insufficient effectiveness of this system is explained by the lack of
knowledge about the nature of the disease and the ways of its spread, the lack of the necessary
number of qualified medical personnel, problems in the interaction of structures involved in
the process of organizing anti-cholera measures. |
