About "unwashed" Europe

In recent years, a curious confrontation has been identified, which can be called somewhat ideological. On the one hand, those who operate on the words of M.Yu. Lermontov about “unwashed Russia”, and on the other, diametrically opposed, those who claim “unwashed Europe.”

Some arguments: no unwashed Russia existed, since there were baths everywhere in which Russians had been washing since ancient times, but Europe was so dirty that this is why the plague raged there. The arguments of others: unwashed Europe is a myth, everything was clean and beautiful in Europe, but Russia was buried in the mud along with all its people. The disputes of opponents sometimes reach bitterness, and they and others obviously do not intend to find any compromises in their theories.

The candidate of biological sciences, historian Fyodor Lisitsyn is trying to understand the issue and debunk what he considers to be myths. In particular, he cites the example of Patrick Suskind's book “Perfumer” (and a film made on this book), where the author writes that medieval Europe was dirty and smelly and only perfumers with perfumes and aromas created by their own hands somehow corrected the situation.

According to Fyodor Lisitsyn, this work of art has sunk into the brains of many modern citizens, who judge the past not according to data from historical materials, namely works of art.

The author in his video on “TV Day” tries to convey the idea that the statements about “unwashed Europe” and the plague epidemic that has arisen due to “European sewage” are to a greater extent not sound. At the same time, evidence of the Crusades came to our days, when the Saracens "found the crusaders by smell." According to the comments on the video, it becomes clear that not everyone shares the opinion of the historian.

We washed in the baths for a long time, when the "enlightened Europe" poured slops from the windows on each other ... Wide-brimmed hats were invented for this. Kings hid stench with spirits because they never washed themselves.

[Pravodel]

Perfume was just invented so that our dear Westerners would not stink. It is a well-known fact that the Pope was very surprised when he found out that Russians are soaring in baths and quilting themselves with brooms. He mistook this for religious torment and sent a special envoy to confirm whether this was true.

[Antares]

Quote: The Truth

Perfume was just invented so that our dear Westerners would not stink.

it is very strange but mankind invented fragrant mixtures much earlier than the advent of the West and Russia. And widely used them in the Ancient World.
And since Ancient Rome was very developed with a sewage system and mass baths, then no west and Russia could compete with Rome for the largest cities and disease control for a long time.
Civilization begins with a sewer!
And with this in the West it was bad (although partly still Roman) and in Russia (partly wooden but very little)
Both sides were "unwashed" and diseases like the plague (brought from China in three waves) appeared not because they were unwashed, but because there were no methods of struggle.
No need to stamp ideas of information war who was washed there We or THEY *
both sides were the same in this regard.
Reading Peter the Great - Europe is cleaner there, reading Razin - it was very dirty.
Reading the West, there is generally a gloom of the common people in cities (lack of sewage)
darkness was in Russian cities before the sewer.
In short, everyone was dirty.
Until they again remembered the Rome system. (I will remind the cities of a millionaire because of the sewer and term)
I've been thinking about syphilis ... if not for him --- the heyday of the sciences and women's freedoms had come much earlier!
And so tightened the religious nuts ... yes, the moral toughened ..
ehh and the times were ..

Appendectomy and removal of stones in the ICD in the Middle Ages were practiced (by hairdressers). But survival :( And about unwashed Russia, it’s not Lermontov, but the ancestor of the bull (which is not bulls), they like to take pseudonyms. Googling Kuprin’s letter to Batyushkov.

Appendectomy and removal of stones in the ICD in the Middle Ages were practiced (by hairdressers)

The first reliable appendectomy was performed in 1735 (and this is certainly not the Middle Ages or even the Renaissance. This is the "Age of Enlightenment") in London by a royal surgeon, founder of St. George's Hospital. Before that, they were treated conservatively.
Russian surgeons continued to adhere to expectant tactics, resorting to surgical intervention only when complications appeared. Actively, they began to operate on appendicitis only in 1909, after the IX Congress of Russian Surgeons.

Pictured: The surgeon uses a puppy to heat the bowels that tumble out of a wound on his stomach. Think it over. I would prefer to live in Pripyat and there are only GMO products grown in chemistry. At the same time, there are much more chances to live up to the shorthand.

I stand in a line in a rural store, in front of me the head of a small-scale farm, I will turn in front - the smell of perfume + manure, turn my back - in manure (this is to say that I don’t remember how the perfume doesn’t sprinkle). century) the story of how cheremis washed one bucket of water for 19 people of cockroaches and lice (fleas) was also enough in Russian huts. With plague in Russia it was more or less calm, but cholera was a frequent guest in Ukraine, the Caucasus and the south of Russia.

[max702]

In the UK, things are no better, if not worse. Up to 40% of households are still supplied with water through lead pipes
In addition, public opinion itself does not take seriously the danger of lead pipes and solders based on lead in water systems.

When I asked my American colleague how they would solder copper pipes after the ban on lead solder, the answer was something like this:

Yes, I know about the ban on lead solders, but those without lead are more expensive and more difficult to solder (melt worse). Therefore, many plumbers go to the flea market and buy old lead solder, it is still for sale. And for the inspector, they hold in their suitcase a skein of new, authorized.

Sites of American plumbers abound with tips on how to connect modern copper pipes to old lead:

The toilet and sewage system are public. Public terms. In the Middle Ages, this was not enough.
The toilet in Rome was public, then paid (money doesn’t smell), weakened at the point going out to Cloaca (sewage system in the form of a flowing underground river), wrote in the groove underfoot - collected and used urine (a strategic product of household chemicals). Wipe with reusable sponges on a stick.
In general, disputes are pointless!
Let us take the density and number of Rome and its cities and the Middle Ages!
For this is an indicator.
In general, the strength of Ancient Rome throughout Europe was reached after 1100!
the population of Rome reached 700 thousand (according to various studies). I was mistaken at the top - the first "millionaire" was Baghdad.
Rome, although it was an agricultural country, but in cities was 10% of the population.
With the Early Middle Ages it was much worse.
Cities such as Florence, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Paris, London, with more than 50 inhabitants at the beginning of the 000th century, were considered huge. The vast majority of urban centers totaled no more than 2 - 000 inhabitants, and even less.
Once again - Civilization begins with a sewer!
And hygiene allows you to cope with all the mass diseases (thanks to both Arabs and Chinese)
Another moral. (Especially with syphilis)

To be correct, the story doubts its literacy, the maximum - it was illiterate. There is not a single line written to her. The presence of prayer books or a bible among the noble persons of that time only indicates that they were given them (these were very expensive gifts at that time), not more.

It is the persecution of women that is the result of hunger and disease.
In northern countries, on the contrary, more men were burned.

Byzantium is generally an extremely curious country - a country with a name invented by historians !!! It turns out that the Byzantines did not call themselves so - they called themselves Romans !!! Wildness isn't it? It’s not even savagery, it’s a crime of historians - left on the pages of textbooks !!! The name Byzantium is given to a huge power with a thousand-year history by the name of a small provincial town ... This is ridiculous !!! - this is the same as calling England for example Bristol or France calling Marcelia ... I think that this was done maliciously with the aim of belittling and hiding the great past of the Eastern European peoples ...

It turns out that the Romans are the Romans in Greek !!! And if you call Byzantium correctly the Eastern Roman Empire !!! - it turns out that Russia and other countries of Eastern Europe are not "a bunch of wild Scythians" but the legitimate descendants of the ancient Roman civilization !!! It was the Western Roman Empire that was destroyed by the barbarians and the Eastern one stood for another 1000 years as the ambassador of the Western collapse !!!
And only a treacherous blow to the back of the Crusader knights destroyed it !!! Probably in the West they hated Constantinople already then !!!
Western Europe inspires Eastern Europe with the myth of its savagery and bankruptcy, and this process has been going on for hundreds of years, and this can be seen even on the pages of history textbooks !!!

compare the scale of the plague for humanity?
With an ebola scale?
Yersinia pestis kills over 100 million people
Nevertheless, the human body has not learned to cope with Yersinia pestis on its own. Modern treatment for plague includes the use of antibiotics such as streptomycin, tetracycline, gentamicin. Despite this, antibiotics are not always able to cope with the disease, and the patient needs the support of the respiratory or circulatory system (and may also end in death)
By the way, the plague wand, having mutated 10 thousand years ago, turned into a huge problem of humanity (as indeed many diseases)
With regard to Ebola, more than 10 thousand people. Mostly in Africa.
Treatment
Supportive care with oral or intravenous fluids and treatment of specific symptoms improves survival. An approved treatment for EVD does not yet exist
But the vaccines appeared quite quickly (here it is Progress!)
for example
The rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine is being used during the current Ebola outbreak 2018–2019. in DRC. Initial data indicate the high efficacy of this vaccine. The WHO Strategic Advisory Expert Group has expressed the need to evaluate additional Ebola vaccines.

I will correct
From about the end of the XNUMXth century, the baths began to be closed due to the plague epidemic. When the townspeople came to wash, they dumped their clothes in the same room. Fleas that suffered the plague freely jumped on the vestments of a healthy person, and then infected him. People decided that bathing (clean water) spreads the plague, so they abandoned this procedure.

What cleanliness in Europe can we talk about if anyone in the palace, in Paris, could go behind any curtain, curtain and relieve himself without bothering to find a toilet. If lice were considered "creatures of God" and it was not considered shameful that they crawl over a man, even a king.
And this is at a time when in Russia there was a weekly mandatory washing in a bathhouse with linen of clothes and clothes.

when in Russia there was a weekly obligatory washing in a bathhouse with linen of clothes and clothes.

With the growth of European cities in the IX-X centuries. public bath complexes appeared in them, where one could wash with soap, cut hair, shave, and put leeches. People gathered in baths as naturally and often as they did in churches; and these bathing establishments were designed for all classes, so they were liable to seignorial duties like mills, blacksmiths and drinking establishments
In this kind of institution, they bathed in an individual wooden bathtub or in a common pool, but there were also special steam rooms where the air was heated by hot stones, and the clients were not in the water, but simply on the benches. From ancient doctors, the medieval inherited the idea of ​​the health benefits of the steam room; for example, St. Hildegard of Bingen, who wrote in the XII century. works on medicine, advised in case of illnesses to drink decoctions of medicinal plants (parsley, thyme, chamomile, tansy, mint, lavender, rosemary, etc.) in a bathhouse and at the same time give them to hot stones and breathe this vapor
in 1249, 26 public baths operated in Paris. These baths worked, according to the documents, 6 days a week.
("Registers of Crafts and Trade of the City of Paris" in Statute LXXIII)
. At about the same time, there were 29 baths in Vienna, and in small Nuremberg, for example - 9. Similar information is easily found in any other medieval city. In Frankfurt at the end of the 25th century, the bathhouse workshop included XNUMX “licensed” specialists
What about soap -
The “soap capitals” were Italian cities and Marseille - if you look around the XNUMXth century. However, later large-scale productions begin to be traced decisively everywhere: from Scandinavia to Castile, from England to Hungary.
So "Unwashed Europe" due to the lack of baths is a lie.
Baths, soap, water treatment facilities, etc. everything was there.
And about the curtains in Paris ...
READ by Peter the Great and his complaints about the inhabitants of Moscow (17th century, if that already)

The ban is not a ban, but they began to refuse washing at a later time. Church washing did not approve.

That is why Russia has suffered less than Europe from the plague.

Pskov 1352 does not agree with you!
It is the plague in Pskov that echoes the myths that the cleanliness of the Russians protected them from rats with fleas and that diseases spread little in cold Russia. Firstly, this plague wore a pulmonary form, because the chronicles preserved the mention of hemoptysis and imminent death. And the pulmonary form only spreads better in the cold. Secondly, fleas infected with plague bacillus (as it was in London in the 17th century) already lived in foreign goods and they bit that dirty, that clean people.
Smolensk, 1387-similar (but it is unclear whether the plague - mortality is higher than the plague)
bubonic form of the plague - 1364 in the Lower Volga
And this despite measures taken by the late Prince Simeon the Proud (quarantines, prohibitions, border closures)
The only advantage of Russia over the West is that earlier they began to jam the laundry while he was bathing there! In Russia (Rus), this began a little earlier than the West. And then thanks to the construction of dining churches.
And there are studies that

The authors of the work noted on the basis of the sample that the ancestor of all strains that arose during the second global plague pandemic came from Russia, namely, near the city of Laishevo, near Kazan.

After the French king Louis IX (XIII century) was drenched with shit from the window, the inhabitants of Paris were allowed to remove household waste through the window, only shouting three times before, “Beware!”

Now we also need to introduce the same rule to shout "palundra" and then throw out stools, flowerpots, empty bottles from the windows.

In the internet they will write such that the ancient Ukrainians invented "terms" again. And at our house there was a bathhouse, which my great-grandfather built from a thick, half-meter cedar. We climbed onto the first pair on the "shelves" by the whole family, about ten people, and brothers, nephews and uncles, so this is only the first run, and on the second there are six more people, well, and the women, as expected, followed the men (in steam room and kid, already a man).

Well, you know ... They carried flea-catchers there - and without exception ... And hats with huge brims had strict functionality. They can pour the chamber pot out of the window on the head at any moment. By the way, they were filmed "gallantly" removing behind - so that it stinks of them less.

City sewage and sewage
"In the newspaper" Russkaya Chronicle ", published by a prominent urban bourgeois: N.P. Shchepkin, in 1871 such a description of the sanitary state of the central part of the city, called the City Part, was published." Whichever side you approach it, a terrible stench meets you On the very doorstep, we go by the smell Here is Red Square and on it the only monument in Moscow to the liberators of Russia in 1612. Around it there is a real infection from the stinking streams flowing on either side. Streams flow down the mountain near the fruit shops. "In the depths of the city," in the mud and stench of the city taverns ... And ... nearby ... latrines ... "From the inner courtyards" often whole streams of stinking sewage flow right into the streets. "

Here we are talking mainly about cities. We, in Russia, had a lot of room with this matter. Cleanliness is akin to neatness. And these qualities were very revered in our country. Even torn clothes, if they were clean and neatly patched, were considered a model of neatness. Here they write about Russian baths. But the desire to be clean forced people to wash in tubs, and even in stoves, and in the summer on the river. We had a very small urban population. But even in my memory, my father put patches on our felt boots every fall . And once a week we went to the bathhouse.

In Stuttgart, on the central square, there is an ancient monument to the Russian Tsar and his relatives, who gave a lot of money to their daughter to equip this square and the hills around it. Prior to this, there was a lot of dirt and soldiers marching in poverty of an illiterate and unwashed brother-in-law. Then the daughter again asked her dad for money for the construction of Orthodox churches around. There are now a lot of cultural buildings of Orthodox property and Swabians are gratefully and sacredly honored. Half a century ago, all Western Europeans related to the Slavs were poor, dirty, and small. Bulgaria, on the contrary, was from sea to sea and the population was four times larger than France, for example. Then the bros asked ... everything between themselves and came under the opinion of supposedly stupid and lazy motionless subhuman. The latter were just waiting for this and quickly went to Berlin at 45m to break away from the soul for a change, it became boring. Then they added east Germany for their thanks, and even earlier Alaska and many other lands. But how else, if the natural wealth underfoot is unmeasured, why fuss? Stuck a stick in the ground and it produces.
