Water, Cholera, Mud: Omsk Cholera Epidemic of 1892
https://doi.org/10.69571/SSPU.2025.99.6.014
Abstract
In 1892, one of the largest cholera epidemics broke out in Omsk. A few years before it began, Omsk doctors began to sound the alarm, pointing out the terrible water quality, the unsanitary condition of city streets and squares. For the authorities, these words acquired real meaning only when the threat of a major epidemic became a reality. In 1892, the authorities started talking about the problems of water use and mud. Like other cities of the Russian Empire, cholera was an important part of the development of urban water infrastructure.
