| description |
Physicians in pre-Revolutionary Russia shared many of the characteristics
of the educated elite. As social reformers they served the common folk
in both remote villages and urban slums, as technical experts they devised
and implemented pioneering community health programs, and as political
activists they helped to precipitate the Revolution of 1905. Various interpretations
of the Russian intelligentsia help to explain their actions: some
sympathized with peasants and workers because they themselves were of
humble origin, or because their work exposed dire social need, or because
they felt a debt to those whose toil supported their education; medical scientists
were especially receptive to the positivism and scientific materialism
current in that era; and "free professionals" were attracted to the movement
for constitutional reform. The study of Russian physicians is thus an excursion
into the world of educated Russians in a period of rapid social change. |
