Book Description
Excerpt from Medical Relief for Soviet Russia: Address Delivered at Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia, January 18, 1921 I am sure, too, that many of the leaders within these organizations must have bemoaned their impotence more than once. Nevertheless, on the record as it stands, we find that these two mighty and noble institutions simply hardened their hearts towards the innocent and suffering millions of the great Communist Republic. They are recorded as having brought aid and comfort to every enemy of Soviet Russia from first to last, from Kolchak all the way through Wrangel. They were all ready with their barges of food and clothing and medicines to bring the message of brotherhood and compassion from America to the population of Russia, provided-provided the adventurer Judenich, with his hangman Balakowich, and the mercenaries of a dozen nationalities should capture Petrograd on the scheduled day. The valor of Red Petrograd disturbed the Entente schedule, and the message of humanity and compassion from America is still undelivered. Instead of bringing supplies to assuage the misery of suffering Russia, there is an authentic record, made by a member of the Kerenski Cabinet and of the Wrangel Cabinet, of which I hold a copy, that large portions of the food supplies of an American relief organization were sold speculatively by the Judenich authorities at six times the legal Esthonian rate, and that the proceeds from these sales of American relief supplies were used not for relief, but for the political and military benefit of the bankrupt Judenich Northwestern Government. I am not to be understood, of course, as saying that these two great and humane American organizations would countenance willingly such a misapplication of American relief supplies. I am pointing to it merely to show that in difficult and troublous times such as war brings with it, the relief organizations were prepared to endure, and justly so, much loss and misapplication of their supplies, knowing that only thus would they have a chance of bringing in the relief which they knew the innocent common people were so much in need of. Yet, when it comes to the relief of Soviet Russia, all kinds of scruples crop up. Surely, the Soviet authorities are at least as responsible, politically and financially, as the motley group of Judenich's administrators and soldiers, at whose heels American relief supplies were to be poured with true American generosity into suffering Russia.

Book Description
Excerpt from Medical Relief for Soviet Russia: Address Delivered at Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia, January 18, 1921 Why should this be? It is not because the wellsprings of mercy and compassion Within. The American people have run dry, What humane cause has ever appealed to the heart and the mind of the American people without getting a response in abounding measure? The suffering of the millions within Soviet Russia has not brought the usual response from America because, unfortunately, everything has been done to keep the facts from reaching the heart and the mind of the American people. Anti-russian propaganda, has been carried on by Departments of Government, by the press, by preachers, lawyers, and teachers; and it is no wonder that the American people has come to believe that Withholding relief from Soviet Russia is one of the great democratic virtues.

Pages : 276
Book Description
Thanks to the opening of archives and the forging of exchanges between Russian and Western scholars interested in the history of medicine, it is now possible to write new forms of social and political history in the Soviet medical field. Using the lenses of critical social histories of healthcare and medical science, and looking at both new material from Russian archives and interviews with those who experienced the Soviet health system, the contributors to this volume explore the ways experts and the Soviet state radically reshaped medical provision after the Revolution of 1917. Soviet Medicine presents the work of an international group of leading scholars. Twelve essays—treating subjects that span the 74-year history of the Soviet Union—cover such diverse topics as how epidemiologists handled plague on the Soviet borderlands in the revolutionary era, how venereologists fighting sexually transmitted disease struggled to preserve the patient's right to secrecy, and how Soviet forensic experts falsified the evidence of the Katyn Forest massacre of 1940. This important volume demonstrates the crucial role played by medical science, practice, and culture in the shaping of a modern Soviet Union and illustrates how the study of Soviet medical history can benefit historians of medicine, science, the Soviet Union, and social and gender historians.

Book Description
A century ago, the Soviet Union faced a catastrophic famine, brought on by the disruptions of the First World War and the Russian Revolution, draconian Soviet economic policies, and a severe drought. As millions of people faced starvation and hunger-related disease, the Russian writer Maxim Gorky issued an appeal for help, asking "all honest European and American people for prompt aid to the Russian people. Give bread and medicine." One person was uniquely situated to answer the call: Herbert Hoover, chair of the American Relief Administration (ARA), who had achieved worldwide fame as the organizer and administrator of large-scale humanitarian relief operations during and following World War I. American relief helped millions survive the famine of 1921-23. While the role of food aid has been well documented, Bread + Medicine focuses on the lesser-known story of America's medical intervention, including a large-scale vaccination drive, and treatment of famine-related diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and typhus and hunger-related deficiency diseases, especially among children. The ARA's medical relief program proved essential to the overall success of its mission. Bread + Medicine, richly illustrated with photographs, posters, and documents from the Hoover Archives, tells that story in vivid detail.
