Topic: Anton Chekov's Doctor Life and a Fight Against Syphilis
Posted By: Luke Mathews

During Anton Chekov's stint as a country doctor, starting in, 1884 and continuing until his TB overpowered him, Chekov spent a considerable amount of time fighting a syphilis epidemic. I have to give a presentation on this very topic and was wondering if anyone has any information about this Russian outbreak. Thanks...
