In the years 1780-1781, Doctor Franz Karl Heintz hesitated about the diagnosis for a long time. Initially he thought he had encountered cases of ‘rotten diseases’. However, taking into account the experience of other European countries, he knew one had to be certain about the diagnosis given, especially when it concerned the most terrible infection. Only after some time he admitted was dealing with the plague. He was still optimistic though. He claimed that herbal medicaments were efficient in many cases. In 1786, already as the quarantine physician of the Right-Bank Ukraine, he sensibly assessed the potential of medicine regarding the plague. Although he based his project on the contemporary medicinal state of the art that went along with the 18th c. ideal of medical knowledge (he was a follower of Hippocrates, i.e. a supporter of humoral pathology), the most important components of the project were police-order in their character, which found a permanent place in the medical thought of that time.

W latach 1780-1781 doktor Franz Karl Heintz długo wahał się w sprawie diagnozy. Początkowo myślał, że napotkał przypadku ‘zgniłej choroby’. Czerpiąc jednak z doświadczenia innych krajów europejskich, wiedział, że trzeba być uważnym podczas diagnozy, zwłaszcza gdy dotyczyła najstraszniejszej choroby. Dopiero po pewnym czasie przyznał, że ma do czynienia z dżumą. Mimo to był dobrej myśli. Twierdził, że w wielu przypadkach pomagają lekarstwa ziołowe. W 1786 r., już jako lekarz kwarantann prowincji ukraińskiej, uważnie oceniał możliwości medycyny wobec dżumy. Mimo oparł swój projekt na współczesnym stanie medycyny, który współgrał z XVIII-wiecznym ideałem wiedzy medycznej (Heintz był zwolennikiem Hipokratesa, tj. wspierał medycynę humoralną), najważniejsze elementy projekt miały charakter policyjny, który znalazł stałe miejsce w myśli medycznej tego okresu.

The article aims to draw attention to the epidemic situation in the southern Ukrainian lands from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century and to analyze the activities of port quarantine departments of the Black and Azov Seas during this period. The research employs problem-chronological, comparative-historical, statistical and biographical methods. The analysis is based on the sources from the Regional Archives of the Mykolaiv Region and relevant scientific literature. The study reveals the conditio of the epidemic-driven country in the period in question, the activities of quarantine departments at the ports of the Russian Empire, as well as how the state and local authorities fought the infections. Reading from archival sources, the author discusses the level of hygiene on military ships, the methods of fighting epidemics, and people’s reactions to quarantine, especially in the Mykolaiv region at the beginning of the 20th century. The epidemic situation in the southern Ukrainian lands from the 18th to the beginning of the 20th century resulted from an imperfect policy of the Russian Empire - poorly-developed medical, social, and cultural spheres. It should be noted that during this period, infectious diseases often came to Ukrainian lands from the east. Their spread was facilitated by increased urban population, the movement of military contingents, water contamination by municipal and industrial waste, and insufficient knowledge of social and personal hygiene almost until the end of the 19th century. The main method of preventing epidemics was the introduction of quarantine. It meant full isolation of potentially dangerous ships arriving in port, inspecting them and supplying passengers and crew with quarantine measures.

The plague epidemics in Right-bank Ukraine and south-western provinces of Russia at the turn of the 19th century were caused by deficiencies in maintaining social distance and inadequate crisis management. The inadequate social distancing was caused by ongoing wars and civil unrest. The first outbreaks of the plague occurred in the territory of the Turkish state, from where it spread to Right-bank Ukraine, as well as to the provinces of the Russian Empire as a result of mobility caused mainly by wars, trade and other phenomena causing population migration (such as mercenary work). After the annexation of the Black Sea territories to Russia, returning soldiers and sailors often unwittingly brought plague from the infected south to the cities and towns of central Russia. The spread of the plague epidemic was facilitated by the efforts of the Russian commanders to limit supply disruptions to the army fighting the Turks. With the effective work of the various branches of the modern administration and the centralized management of the crisis in Right-bank Ukraine, the outbreaks were quickly contained to only a few areas. These circumstances were even more evident in the southwestern provinces of Russia, with a strong central government and its local ties.

Plag egipskich, którymi Mojżesz wspierał swe żądania o wyjście Żydów z Egiptu, było dziesięć. Do krwi w Nilu, żab, komarów, much, pomoru bydła, wrzodów, szarańczy, gradu, ciemności i śmierci pierworodnych trzeba by chyba dopisać jedenastą plagę. To mrówki.
