10 years of Soviet medicine in Tatarstan

The main factors that formed the basis and gave direction to the construction of health care in the Tatar Republic over the past 10 years are the following: 1) the ethnic composition of the Tatar Republic with a predominantly Tatar and national (Chuvash, Mari, Mordovian, etc.) population with their peculiar everyday characteristics, 2) cultural and economic backwardness of the region, 3) poorly developed, completely destroyed during the years of imperialist and civil wars, the medical and sanitary network inherited by the Tatar Republic from tsarism, 4) hungry 20 and 21 years with a wide wave of epidemics of cholera, parasitic typhus, scurvy diseases, 5) low sanitary indicators of the region, and, finally, 6) the economic state of the Republic of Tatarstan, which is a predominantly agricultural region with a technically backward agricultural system and the concentration of industry mainly in Kazan and very weak in other localities of TR.
