Vmarkova_88@inbox.ruN.N. Burdenko Voronezh State Medical University181220214929708042022Copyright © 2021,2021The article reveals the topic of the population's attitude to medicine and medical measures during the cholera epidemics in the Voronezh Province in 1892-1893 and in 1909-1910. In addition to the conclusions and results on the results of the fight against cholera, Voronezh zemstvo doctors noted cases of distrust and unusual aggressive behavior of the residents of the province in relation to doctors and anti-epidemic detachments. There are cases of pogroms of cholera barracks, attacks on medical workers of anti-epidemic detachments. The population often hid cholera cases, considering doctors and paramedics the main culprits of the spread of cholera. The article presents the main speculations and prejudices of the population of the Voronezh Province about the causes of cholera, its spread and treatment, which are typical for many regions of Russia. A comparative analysis of social assessments of medicine in the years of the emergence of cholera in the late XIX-early XX centuries and the COVID-19 pandemic allows us to see similar forms of social responses to the challenges of epidemics.history of medicinecholera epidemiccholera riotshealth care of the Voronezh regionистория медициныэпидемия холерыхолерные бунтыздравоохранение Воронежской области1.Очерки эпидемии холеры 1892-1893 гг. в Воронежской губернии.
