As the nineteenth century drew to a close and epidemics in western
Europe were waning, the deadly cholera vibrio continued to wreak
havoc in Russia, outlasting the Romanovs. Scholars have since
argued that cholera eventually fell prey to better sanitation and
strict quarantine under the Soviets, citing as evidence imperial
mismanagement, a `backward' tsarist medical system and physicians'
anachronistic environmental interpretations of the disease. Drawing
on extensive archival research and the so-called `material turn' in
historiography, however, John P. Davis here demonstrates that
Romanov-era physicians' environmental approach to disease was not
ill-grounded, nor a consequence of neo-liberal or populist
political leanings, but born of pragmatic scientific
considerations. The physicians confronted cholera in a broad and
sophisticated way, essentially laying the foundations for the
system of public health that the Soviets successfully used to
defeat cholera during the New Economic Policy (1922-1928). By
focusing for the first time on the conclusion of the cholera epoch
in Russia, Davis adds an indispensable layer of nuance to the
existing conception of Romanov Russia and its complicated legacy in
the Soviet period.
