✦ Synopsis
Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1965. - 229 pgs. Roderick E. McGrew describes Russia's response to the first cholera epidemic, and how the government and medical practitioners performed during a new kind of crisis. Riots were caused by the anti-cholera measures, such as quarantine, armed cordons and migratory restrictions. Influenced by rumors of deliberate contamination of ordinary people by government officials and doctors, mobs raided police departments and state hospitals, killing hated functionaries, officers, landowners and gentry. The riots went especially out of control in Sevastopol and in military settlements of the Novgorod guberniya.
