EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Soviet cholera vaccination poster from 1967, which was widely distributed in the USSR to encourage citizens to protect themselves against this deadly disease. Cholera, caused by the bacterium Vibria cholerae, spreads through contaminated food and water and leads to severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration that can ultimately result in death. The photograph captures an important moment in history as it highlights the efforts made by the Soviet Union to combat epidemics and improve public health during the 20th century. The poster itself is a powerful piece of art with its striking illustration and impactful appeal for vaccination. In this image, we see a male doctor or nurse administering a vaccine to a caucasian woman while another man looks on attentively. The presence of medical professionals emphasizes the seriousness of cholera as they work tirelessly to prevent its spread. The text on the poster is written in Cyrillic script, further emphasizing its Russian origin. It serves as both an educational tool about cholera prevention and an advertisement for immunization campaigns conducted at that time. This historical artifact reminds us of how far we have come in terms of public health measures such as vaccinations. It also serves as a reminder that diseases like cholera were once widespread threats but can now be effectively prevented through immunization programs.
