The Jizzakh Cholera: When Empire Met Epidemic in Turkestan

6 min•25 april 2026

In 1892, a cholera epidemic swept through Russian Turkestan, triggering a brutal confrontation in the small city of Jizzakh. This episode unpacks the clash between imperial medicine and local resistance, the role of the Russian doctor who tried to understand Uzbek beliefs, and the legacy of suspicion that outlasted the Tsar. We explore the Jizzakh uprising, the exile of Dr. Nikolai Kirillov, and how a disease became a mirror for colonial power.
