The Cholera Epidemic in Central Asia during Tsarist Russia Era and its Evolution of Countermeasures——A study on the Social History of Medicine
Cholera is a particularly destructive epidemic that has broken out on eight occasions in Central Asia during the rule of Tsarist Russia.In response to the three Cholera epidemics of 1872,1892,and the early 20th century,the Russian government implemented a series of epidemic prevention measures.The evolution of these measures reflects not only the advancement of Western medical concepts but also the interactive relationship between epidemics and the local social,economic,and cultural context of Central Asia.The implementation of prevention and control measures,as well as their initial effects,are not only shaped by the progress of disease theory but are also closely related to the overall level of social development.The specific social culture and customs of a given population also have an impact on the operation of epidemic prevention measures.Studying the evolution of colonial governments'epidemic prevention measures during the period of Tsarist Russia's rule in Central Asia and summarizing historical experience will serve as a reference for the smooth development of cooperation in the field of medical and health between China and Central Asia under the background of the"Belt and Road"initiative.
