Sanitizing Moscow presents an environmental history of public health reforms in late imperial Moscow between 1870 and 1917. It explores the relationship between Russia's urban modernization and the more-than-human environment in the context of the major social and political changes, triggered by the liberal reforms of the 1860s and 1870s, and the transnational rise of scientific medicine and sanitary technologies. Mazanik is the first to combine environmental history and the history of urban public health in the context of imperial Russia.
Anna Mazanik is an environmental and medical historian of Russia and a research fellow at the Max Weber Network Eastern Europe in Germany. Born in Moscow, she has studied in Russia, Hungary, Germany, and the United States and holds a PhD in history from Central European University. She lives in Munich.
