Title A name given to the resource 1892 Russian Cholera Outbreak Map Subject The topic of the resource Map depicting the spread of the 1892 Cholera Epidemic across Russia Description An account of the resource This is a map that was produced in 1893 by C. de Casrelli in St. Petersburg depicting with red arrows the progression of the Cholera epidemic that devastated Russia in 1892. It claimed 200,000 lives and was part of a global pandemic (the 7th cholera pandemic of the 19th century). This map illustrates a general southeastern to northwestern movement of cholera across Russia. This is significant for my project as it shows similarities in movement to the 1346-1353 Black Plague origins and transmission routes as well as the 1921 malaria origins and routes across Russia. Research confirms that climate played an important factor in all three epidemics in creating the conditions for both ideal disease incubation and increase modes of transmission. Of the three maps, the 1943 malaria map best illustrates the areas where high levels of outbreak occurred. All three diseases moved across Russia using established trade, communication, and transportation routes. There is a difference in the speed of travel between the Black Plague which took decades to travel across central and southern Russia before hitchhiking the sea trading routes of the Black Sea and the cholera and malaria epidemics which used rail and roadways to travel across Russia within a year.

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 Mapping the 1889-1890 Russian Flu Subject The topic of the resource Russian Flu Description An account of the resource In this map we get a global view, as it was a pandemic that spread across all of the world. We see places where the spread was far more dense than other locations. For example we see that all of Europe had been affected at one point or another. We also see parts of Africa that are bare and most likely not affected or recorded. A major part of this map is to transmit the information and present a timeline of when these different locations got infected over the course of a calendar year. We see places get infected as early as September of 1889 like Tobolsk. We also see places get infected as late as October 1890 such as Korea. We also have locations that are marked as getting infected however it is unknown what month they had been transmitted the disease. Those locations are marked with purple diagonal lines. With viewing this map you truly get to see the scale of how bad and devastating this pandemic became. Although the numbers and dates in this map are estimated due to infections being spread by word of mouth so everything you see on this map may not be 100% accurate, it's the best we are going to get given the time period. We are also given a smaller map in the bottom right corner that shows all the locations infected no matter when they were infected. This does a really good job as the infection spots are all the same color opposed to the colors being associated with different months out of the year. It is a little easier to read. With the key being in the bottom right corner, this map does a fantastic job of showing why this was truly a global pandemic and how it ended up retaining that title so quickly due to the fast spread of the disease.

Title A name given to the resource A Map of the Trans-Siberian Railroad Subject The topic of the resource A map of the Russian railroads through the European Russia, the Urals, Siberia, Mongolia, China and the Russian Pacific coast. Language A language of the resource English Description An account of the resource This is a map of the Trans-Siberian Railroad published in January 1914 by Edward Stanford in London. I am writing about the Trans-Siberian Railroad in Russia, and how it contributed to the spread of cholera during the epidemic of 1892. The Trans-Siberian Railroad is the longest railway in the world, stretching 5,571 miles from Moscow, in the center of European Russia, all the way to Vladivoskok, on Russia’s Pacific coast. It connects with the Chinese Eastern Railroad, which cuts across Mongolia. The Trans-Siberian Railroad opened up parts of European Russia, the Urals, Siberia and Mongolia to increased economic development, trade, and settlement. Unfortunately, it also opened up previously inaccessible regions to the spread of deadly diseases, such as cholera. Cholera was sometimes spread by passengers who were unaware that they had the disease. While rivers in Russia were frozen over in the wintertime, limiting travel among them, railroads were operational year round, which potentially created the limitless spread of cholera. This map shows the route of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and adjoining railroads, such as the rail line that goes to St. Petersburg in northwest Russia. It labels all of the cities and towns that the railroad passes through. It also shows the neighboring countries to the south of Russia, some of which, like China, have connecting railroads, and Pacific nations such as Japan. The map also shows the Korean peninsula, and Man-churia, where Russia was expanding into prior to the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. Port Arthur, Russia’s warm water port in China, is also shown on the map. As Russia expanded to all of these areas, it had to battle various levels of inadequate sanitation and local diseases. While the imperial Russian government may have battled with sanitation in remote Russian villages, there were probably even more sanitary problems in areas like Manchuria that were occupied by Russia after the Boxer Rebellion, but were not formally Russian territory.

Title A name given to the resource Annotated Color Map of Russia in the 19th Century Subject The topic of the resource Color Map of Russia in the 19th Century, annotated to show the 1892 spread of cholera up the Volga River and on to Nizhni-Norgorod, the site of the trade fair. Description An account of the resource This 19th Century English map of European Russia is annotated to show the 1892 spread of cholera up the Volga River, spreading 12,000 miles in 12 days from Astrakhan to Saratof to Samara to Simbirsk to Nizhni-Novgorod. This map highlights just how close these towns were to each other. While they had varied methods of quarantine and certainly a wide range of responses from the public to cholera mitigation efforts, Nizhni-Novgorod remains an outlier. As the site of the annual fair with 200,000 visitors buying and selling goods from all parts of Russia and neighboring countries, Nizni-Novgorod was not like-wise restricted and the reported rates of illness and death at this one town are suspiciously low. Follow the visual trail from Astrakhan up the Volga and on the Oka River to Moscow. This visualization makes it impossible to believe that the huge mass of people coming and going out of Nizhni-Novgorod remained healthy. You can see that it would be impossible and cannot be considered a plausible scenario. When you see the progression of the spread and can visualize the closeness of the towns, the question of the fair at Nizhni-Novgorod comes into clear focus. Not the answers, just the questions. The map brings to life the central location that Nizhni-Novgorod provided for water and land based trade. From the Baltic to Central Asia, the connecting of the Volga and Oka River and the Kama River on to the Ural Mountains and Siberia, this location was a hub that provided a perfect trading site. To annotate all the waterways became distracting and even the most elemental reading of this map will bring these water routes into focus without the need for annotations. Clear and plainly marked, this map is a perfect way to see trading possibilities as they were in 1892 at the time of outbreak; it is also a perfect way to start to consider all the possible reasons this fair was allowed to continue year after year, in the heart of cholera outbreaks that closed down the rest of European Russia.
