Description An account of the resource “Cholera epidemics regularly spread up the Volga from Astrakhan, most devastatingly in 1892 and 1893 when the disease ravaged the working population of the fair. “ Description of Cholera entering Niznhy Novgorod in 1892 from Melnikov Ocherki, (1817–1917) as found in Ocherki’s Bytovoi Istorii Nizhegorodskoi Iarmarki Thie primary map (a Baedeker map from 1902), shows the cityscape of Nizhnii Novgorod. It helps the audience to understand the spatial dimensions of Nizhnii Novgorod during the Cholera plague of 1892 during the time of the fair season. As is seen, Nizhnii Novgorod is split in half by the Volga River and was the primary transit point for goods, commerce, and people from west to east in the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth century. It was especially hard hit with the plague across all social classes – but especially the poor and disenfranchised. Sanitation, clean water and provisions for the citizens were all conflated in this urban space. In looking at this map (and the secondary map) we will look to learn about the history of the people who sought to maximize their health and chances of avoiding Cholera by relying upon advancements of Imperial state’s-built environment. That is, was creating walls and defensive spaces like cordoned areas, bridges, hospitals, quarantine areas provided protection of the local inhabitants was effective? From this the map hopes to give the audience clues and insight into whether was it possible to fence off a Cholera Epidemic in 1892 in a Russian Imperial city of Nizhnii Novgorod? Sadly, the answer is no. But we do learn that the difficulty of securing the city or eliminating the spread was going to be a challenge irrespective of outcome and ,when compared to the second map, is that a silver lining to Cholera might be the creation of order and a more measurable and defined built environment as Imperial Russia sought to modernize.

Mende (Mendt) map as requested by and organized for the Tsar's Military Topographic Depot of the General Staff, the Land Survey Department and the Russian Geographical Society Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Artist Statement - Eric Hoppe As a graduate student at Harvard, I am nearing the completion of a class focused upon viewing Imperial Russian history through the lens of maps. From this class, I have found myself venturing from the pragmatic world of Statist development to a world imbued with metaphysics and back again to make sense of the cosmology and eschatology of my experience. I find myself pondering questions, unsure if answers exist. I find puzzles with interlinking meaning in 2D vectored cartographic space with scalars of additional maps and legends and historical events adding context and nuance to what I see in a map that I might look at. I am confused, entertained, and enlightened, as I detail below. First, though, I want to share why I decided to pursue this presentation. And why, specifically, I chose these maps and why I selected the sources that inform their relevancy. Concerning the map(s) and accompanying texts to my presentation, I see commonalities of locations, events, and time now and in the past. For example, I view the JFK airport in New York City in the time of Sars Covid 2 in 2022 in comparable light with Nizhny Novgorod in 1892 in the time of a Cholera Epidemic. Both are central intermodal transit points for people and goods and have faced serious challenges in maintaining control of health for significant portions of the population during an epidemic. No one is/was immune despite best faith intentions of governmental agencies and local authorities and physicians to make/made efforts to keep people healthy and free of infection with heightened sanitary measures. That there is also a considerable conversation about the methods of dealing with the epidemics, replete with ideas of conspiracy and non-compliance to governmental oversight makes this an intriguing coincidence. To understand this historic doppelganger – I needed to answer a few questions: What was the built space of the period, and what was the built space in the intervening period, essentially at the time of the last epidemical outbreak of Cholera. Not to sound trite, but the only way to visually “see” this world, this place, at these times was with geographic maps of the period. My maps are a detailed tourist map by Baedeker from 1902 and an Imperially commissioned map from 1860. My primary sources are medical personnel reports and documents supported by secondary source material of experts in Russian history, the city of Nizhny Novgorod in the time period, and of the epidemic in question. The sources consider sanitation, hygiene, clean water, the communicability of Cholera, methods of conveyance, transmission, economics, class, cultural barriers and more. My questions had to be deep but narrow, meaningful but answerable, and I needed to learn something of the social and cultural character of the Russian people and the Empire under which they toiled. In the narration text that is attached to these maps, I believe you will find that the answers to many of these questions serve in equal measure of idea and ideology. I hope that you too will enjoy this journey in these maps with me as an attempt to address the following questions: What defines a built space in Imperial Russia in the nineteenth century? Is it one that confines, protects, and nurtures like a womb or a cocoon with a platform for emergence, growth, and expansion? Is it something from nothing full of hegemonic energy? Is it a part of the natural world with the needs, hope, and ambitions of those who crave security and a source of certainty (inclusive of positive and negative outcomes) in a mercurially unkind and challenging place? Does the built environment of Nizhny Novgorod serve civic purposes equally among class, ethnicity, and social hierarchy? Did it serve its purpose in the time of the Choleric epidemic? Was it part of the problem or effective in its resolution of the contagion? In complete candor, though I tried to find answers to these questions, I continue to ponder many of these points.

Title A name given to the resource Ethnographic Map of Imperial Russia in 1905 Description An account of the resource Ethnographic Map of Imperial Russia in 1905 This map was created by the Imperial Geographic Society of Russia, and it displays the location of the various ethnic groups within the late Imperial Russia. The map shows only 60 of the 196 known ethnic groups residing in Russia; it is unknown whether the cartographers decided to impose a limit in resolution to keep the map legible, or their ethnographic knowledge was not yet complete. Interestingly, the map includes Alaska which was, of course, sold to America in 1867. This map allows plotting the location of Orthodox Christian monasteries founded in the 19th century to see if there is any correlation between ethnic groups, religions, and monasteries. One hundred and forty-five monasteries were founded in the final century of Imperial Russia, and, unsurprisingly, the vast majority of these were on lands where ethnic Russians constituted the predominant ethnic group. What is surprising, however, is that a non-insubstantial minority of these were founded in lands where Muslims (Tartars and Cossacks) formed the majority of the population. In fact, most of these monasteries resumed operation after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the cessation of atheistic persecutions. This, of course, casts doubts on the widely-held stereotype that all Muslims are fanatically ill-disposed against other religions and incapable of harmonious coexistence. It also opens a range of interesting questions. Was there any imperial force used to keep Muslims quiet? The available historical record generally denies this. On the other hand, how did these Monasteries were able to survive economically in the absence of a large patronage basis? Certainly, wealthy Russian individuals donated liberally, but, generally, monasteries survive on a continuous stream of the widows' mites. Did the local Muslim population provide any financial assistance?

Title A name given to the resource Ethnographische Karte von Russland Subject The topic of the resource Ethnographic Map of Russia c.1878 Description An account of the resource This ethnographic map of European Russia depicts the makeup of the Russian Empire’s diverse population during the late 1800’s and how the various ethnic groups were geographically dispersed throughout the country. The map highlights the geographic area from the northern borderlands to the Black and Caspian Seas in the south, including the mountainous isthmus of the Caucasus which is historically considered a natural barrier between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The map identifies European Russia’s inhabitants as belonging to one of fourteen separate ethnic groups or “Stamme” (tr. tribes) which are further classified into forty-six different places of geographic or regional origin. For instance, ethnic Russians are identified as Slavs, comprised of three separate groups, representing separate regions of Russia’s heartland. While the map does not indicate the total population or population density of any one group or region, it does suggest the gradual absorption of smaller groups into the larger group identified as ethnic Russians. The integration and mixing of various ethnic groups were largely a result of the increased mobility and migration of peasants who were emancipated in 1861. Concentrations of non-ethnic Russians inhabited the outer ranges of the empire’s southern and easter frontiers, including the Caspian’s coastal city of Baku where Russia’s cholera epidemic of 1892 was identified as appearing first. Enclaves of ethnic Turkic and Iranian (Persian) people among others can be traced from Astrakhan on the delta of the Volga river northward toward the cities of Saratov, Samara, Simbirsk, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and westward toward Russia’s largest cities Moscow and St. Petersburg. It was along the Volga that Russia experienced the rapid incursion of cholera because of poor living conditions and lack of sanitation. It was also along the Volga that the outbreak of several riots within the towns and settlements in response to the government’s initial measures to contain the outbreak of cholera.

Title A name given to the resource Ethnographische Karte Von Russland Subject The topic of the resource The Ethnic Geography of Russia Description An account of the resource This set of two maps, drawn up in 1878, shows in great detail the presence of different ethnicities in Russia, both north and south. These ethnicities are shown by color, and in the legend are grouped according to larger ethnic groups. For example, Great Russians, Little Russians, White Russians, Bulgarians, and Poles are grouped under the heading "Slavic Tribes." For the purposes of this podcast, it is easy to see that in the Southeast portions of the map, where the worst of the civil unrest (and its accompanying murder and arson) was happening, these are areas where a great many non-slavic ethnicities from different ethnic families were living in diverse parity, but in no part of that area were slavs dominant. An interesting thing to note is that in the Caucasus, there is a blue area indicating Georgian territory. In the legend, these Georgians are not in the same ethnic family as the rest of the groups in the Caucasus; rather they are listed as Iberian in lineage.
