Dear friends, we have great news for you! As part of the informative and educational lecture hall of the RDS, Yevgeny Eduardovich Mikhailov continues his author's lecture course on the cycle - "Secrets of Russian and World History"! The topic of the fifth lecture 11/01/2026 at 19:00 Moscow time: "Biological Civil War". "No one knows how many people were sick. We are talking about tens of millions. A minority of those infected were registered. Only 7.5 million people registered as typhus in the years 1918-1923. According to the assessment of the then Soviet immunologist and epidemiologist L. A. Tresevich with a real number of typhus in 18 people in 18 people in 19. Alone there were 25 million people in the most inconvenient areas, up to 6,000 people fell ill per 100,000 inhabitants. The catastrophic spread of typhus and relapsing fever is associated with vectors - lice, which are almost impossible to exterminate in war, since in field conditions during battles not a single soldier can fully meet sanitary standards. In addition, unvaccinated and sick soldiers of the Red and White armies constantly ran to Israel and unwittingly became a "bacteriological weapon". ", writes columnist Konstantin Kotelnikov in the article "Contagious catastrophe in Russia in the years 1918-1921". But is it really that simple? Maybe it's time to understand why the civil war is called biological? Was it just because of typhoid and the strange Spanish flu that appeared just after the first vaccinations in the West? Perhaps we should remember the use of chemical weapons by Tuchchevski during the suppression of the uprisings in the Tambov region? Or is it in the biology of the Russian people - father went against son, and brother against brother? Why understand the tragic events of the past? Yevgeny Eduardovich not only has rich political experience as a statesman, but also an excellent historical education, which he received at the Faculty of History of Moscow University named after M. hook. Lomonosov.
