The plague created religious, social and economic upheavals, with profound effects on the course of European history. This map was important for my project as it illustrates similar routes of transmission and origin as cholera and malaria.

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.

Description An account of the resource Issued by the Ministry of Transport in 1902, the Map of the rail, water and road routes of transport of European Russia, shows the massive growth in the rail network in the short time after the introduction of the locomotive to the Russian Empire. From 1830 to 1847 the Russian Empire expanded their railway from zero miles to 227 miles, and again from 1847 to 1892 expanded to 30000 miles with a majority of which is closely represented in this map of European Russia.[1] Understanding the Map Charted by renowned map maker A. Ilyin [2], this map details the different major methods of transport throughout European Russia at the turn of the Century. The map is marked accordingly: <ul><li>Large Solid Black Lines - Railways</li> <li>Orange Shading / Lines - Represent Provincial Borders</li> <li>Blue Shaded inland areas - Waterways / rivers</li> <li>Thin Single / Double black lines - Roads</li> <li>Thin Single / Double red lines - Highways</li> <li>Black Dotted Lines - Telegraphs</li> </ul>Relation to the Cholera Epidemic This maps creation with close proximity to the 1892 Cholera epidemic also grants a reader with a better understanding of how the disease quickly spread throughout the Empire through its extensive travel infrastructure. The Western European regions are heavily connected to one another, granting quick access by not only travelers and citizens, but anything else which has the capability of travelling, such as a disease. Notable Blanks in Service On this map is key to note a number of locations had significantly less railway connection. For example, termination points in a number of large cities in the East. While cities like Kazan often served as gateways to east Russia, we see large swaths of land that see no connection at all to railways. Serving as termination points for rail service could result in losses of revenue, as exports only from the termination point city and travelers and locals specifically heading to Kazan finding themselves there. Other locations have railways going significantly further into eastern Russia. A key possibility is a level of influence held by one region over another, direct connections with the Russian government, or general corruption among those constructing the railways. While termination points and / or lack of railway access would have been economic barriers to success, for these same reasons, the spread of the Cholera epidemic could be lessened. Fewer citizens and travelers to termination points could also reduce the likelihood of a town or region contracting the disease. A notable blank in rail service is also along the Volga. Along the river there appear to be no less than Eight termination points. A possible shift from rail service to steamboat or water transport, inability to construct bridges over the Volga, or a general lack of economic neccessity could have been reasons for these terminations.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1914 Language A language of the resource Russian Subject The topic of the resource Ethnographic Map of Asiatic Russia Description An account of the resource This map of Asiatic Russia tells the story of Russia's vast ethnic diversity. Just saying that the Russian Empire was diverse would be an understatement. Because of Russia's strategic location between Europe and Asia, it has come in contact with a large quantity of different peoples. There are over 120 different ethnic groups recognized in Russia today. The largest of them being Slavs or people of ethnic Russian heritage. This map shows the people groups of Asiatic Russia or Siberia. From the Turkic peoples to the south, The Chukchi in the northeast, and the Russian settlers in the center. The legend in the upper-left corner tells us that there are six ethnic categories and 21 groups (that this map includes.) The first category is Indo-Europeans which consists of Russians (Slavs), and Tajiks. It should be noted that Tajiks are considered by most as a Central Asian race and not an Indo-European race. The next category is the indigenous people of the far northeast region, next to Alaska. These groups are probably the furthest from traditional European Russian culture and these groups have much more in common culturally, Ethnicity and linguistically with Native Americans, especially the Native people of northern Canada. These groups are: Chukchi, Koryaks, Kamchadals, Yukagirs, Chuvans, and others. Both the Mongolian and Tunguska categories were mostly made up of one group. The Buryats for the Mongols and Tungus for the Tunguska. With some other smaller groups. The largest category is the Turko-Tatar Groups. The Turkic people in Central Asia and the Caucasus, according to this map, included: Tatars, Turkmens, Yakoots, Uzbeks, Kara-Kalpaks, Sarts, and Kyrgyzs. Many of the Turkic groups live in what is now modern-day Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Samoyed people groups not to be confused with the dog breed live in north-central Russia and this category consists of: Yooraks, Samoyeds, Tavgytsy, and Ostyak-Samoyeds. The last categories are the Finnish groups. The Finnish groups are very intriguing because they originated in Siberia around the Urals. Then some moved west onto the Scandinavian peninsula and the Baltics. The groups are Ostyaks and Vogels. IIIF Item Metadata UUID 1201b785-e015-4faa-a25b-fed834c8e581 Asia Ethnographic Russia
