Trying something different. This is the start of a season where I look at Russia's historical relationship with diseases and outbreaks. Starting with Russia's track record of plague, from the black death to the 20th century. How the old Tsars managed outbreaks through quarantine, how the people sometimes rebelled, and the systems that the last Tsars and the Soviets set up in an attempt to rid themselves of plague forever.
