From the Editor
Historians explore society and its activities in all forms and aspects, but there are topics that rarely attract attention due to their specificity. One of them is mortality. In many ways, F. Arjes put an end to this in his famous book “Man in the Face of Death”, showing not only that it is necessary to speak on difficult topics, but also how this can be done. No wonder our issue opens with an article by V.G. Semenova and S.A. Vangorodskaya “Perception of death as a measure of the value of life against the background of epidemiological transition”, analyzing the works of F. Arjes and proposing to compare them with the works of another, no less significant scientist, A. Omran. It perfectly reflects the idea underlying this issue.
Mortality of the Population of Russia
V.G. Semenova, S.A. Vangorodskaya
Perception of Death as a Measure of the Value of Life against the Backdrop of the Epidemiological Transition
The article on the basis of comparing the historical periodization of the perception of the death of F. Arjes with the main stages of the epidemiological transition of A. Omran considers the problem of the perception of death as a mirror reflection of the value of life. It was concluded that the general vector of the evolution of the perception of death can be considered its personification, and the attitude to human life as one of the highest values was finally formed at the final stages of the epidemiological transition, when mortality from a huge range of pathologies was attributed to preventable by the forces of medicine and health.

Child Mortality in the Irkutsk Province in the 19th – Early 20th Centuries: Medical and Historical Analysis of the Problem
At the present stage of the development of society, an urgent task is to provide demographic processes with favorable indicators: an increase in life expectancy, a decrease in morbidity and mortality, and an improvement in the quality characteristics of the health of the population. In general, the analysis of the demographic situation is determined by the statistics of births, mortality, population growth, fertility, infant mortality, its structure by causes, gender, age, etc. In this article, the authors analyze the problem of child mortality and the reasons for its permanent existence in the Irkutsk province in the 19th – early 20th centuries, consider in detail the presence of an infectious component in the region and the features of childcare, the level of medical care.

Mortality of the Population of Soviet Russia in the 1920–1930s: Main Research Problems, Factors and Trends
An important indicator of population reproduction is mortality. Mortality, its factors, and trends were decisive in the processes of population reproduction in Soviet Russia in the 1920s–1930s. As before, exogenous causes of mortality dominated over endogenous ones, and the emerging demographic transition was again interrupted by political and foreign policy events, as well as socio-economic processes. State measures aimed at reducing the mortality rate and supporting a high birth rate by expanding the network of medical institutions, accessibility to medical care and other opportunities were catching up.

The article analyzed the dynamics of mortality and its causes in Khakassia during the Soviet historical period. As a result of the general processes of modernization of the economy and social sphere in Khakassia, the population has increased many times, a relatively developed health care system has been formed. All this accelerated the passage of the stages of the epidemiological transition. However, in terms of average life expectancy, Khakassia, like the Soviet Union, significantly lagged behind the advanced countries. By the end of the era of the USSR, this gap in the pace of epidemiological transition increased even more.

Official Statistics on Mortality in Western Siberia in the 1960s: The Way to the Truth
The article deals with the evolution of population mortality in Western Siberia in 1959–1970. On the basis of published and unpublished statistical materials the main features of mortality of the population of one of the most economically important regions of the Russian Federation are analyzed. Based on the analysis of statistical materials, the following conclusions are made. The populaсe of Western Siberia followed the path of evolution in mortality that another regions of the country followed. In the late 1960s, the rise in mortality began earlier than in the RSFSR as a whole. The increase in mortality occurred faster than in other regions and began with a lower level of life expectancy than in the USSR.

Fertility and Mortality of the Urban Population of the Tyumen Region at the End of the Soviet Period (1979–1989)
The article examines the change in fertility and mortality rates in urban settlements of the Tyumen region in the 1980s. The analysis of population reproduction is based on the total fertility rate and life expectancy, taking into account the social changes that occurred at that time. The theoretical basis of the work was the theory of demographic transition. It was found that by the end of the study period, mortality became the lowest among the West Siberian regions, while the region retained its leading position in terms of fertility.

Mortality of Rural Residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in Post-Soviet Times (1990–2023s) (Causes and Regional Characteristics)
The problem of the development of mortality in Russia in the post-Soviet era, the nature and degree of influence on it of the radical reforms of the 1990-2020s are considered on the example of the rural population of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The processes in the villages went in common with similar ones in the cities of the region and the countryside of the Russian Federation as a whole, but more dynamically, and had the worst parameters. Mortality trends in the Krasnoyarsk village after 1991 are assessed as crisis. In 2020, the slow recovery from the crisis was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Krasnoyarsk village suffered more severe losses from the pandemic than the cities of the region and all of rural Russia.

Organization of Smallpox Vaccination in the Yakut Region (First Half of the 19th Century)
The article is devoted to the history of the formation and development of the system for the prevention of infectious diseases in the Yakutsk region in the first half of the 19th century. Based on clerical sources (decrees, prescriptions, reports, correspondence, statements, annual reports of regional chiefs), mass vaccination in the vast north-eastern periphery of the empire was first considered, the activities of the local administration in organizing this policy were analyzed and its difficulties were identified in the context of the specificity of the region. The author comes to the conclusion that, despite the observed organizational troubles, the measures taken contributed to the creation of anti-epidemic conditions in Yakutia.

The Method of Quantitative Analysis of the Impact of the Quality of Medical Activities of Healthcare on the Mortality of the Population During the Great Patriotic War
The article proposes a method that allows, in conditions of lack of statistical data, to establish the role of the contribution of changes in the quality of medical health care to changes in mortality. Using the proposed method, based on data from Western Siberia, it was established that the impact of the quality of medical activity on a radical reduction in mortality in the middle of the war was relatively small. On the basis of data on the RSFSR, it was found that a smooth decrease in mortality at the end of the war, on the contrary, was primarily due to an improvement in the quality of medical activity.

What if the Russian Demographic Crisis Had a Hidden Ecologic Cause?
Russia death rates decline during the 1950s, rose from the mid-1960s until the early 2000s before declining slightly again after 2004. The trends have been attributed to economic trends and prospects, and alcohol consumption. Not-disregarding a contribution of social factors, a new idea is proposed here: that the observed trends in mortality (and fertility) could have resulted from an ecologic interplay between two populations: humans and influenza A viruses. It is proposed that the immune-inflammatory phenotype emerging from the interaction between early priming and re-infection by influenza A subtypes may be protective (if same subtype) or enhancer (if different subtypes) of morbidity upon challenges by other environmental exposures.

Discussion of M.I. Azambuya’s Article “What if the Demographic Crisis in Russia Has a Hidden Environmental Cause?”
The history of epidemics has been studied for more than 100 years. Doctors and epidemiologists have been and are constantly engaged in it, because epidemics have always accompanied humanity, and fighting them is the key to its survival not only in the past, but also in the present and in the future. If we turn to foreign scientific literature, we can see that in the 2000s. A well-founded interdisciplinary approach to the study of the topic has developed, including a deep dive into the history of the issue, attracting a large volume of retrospective statistical data, combining advanced knowledge of medicine, genetics, demography using modern information processing methods. One of these works is an article by Maria Ines Azambuya, which examines the impact of influenza epidemics on humans from the neonatal period to death.

The teaching of the Catholic Church presupposes prayerful care for souls in purgatory. There are days of general commemoration, the practice of which has developed since the early Middle Ages: the Saturday before the beginning of Lent, on the eve of Pentecost, on the Day of Commemoration of all the departed faithful.
