В статье рассматриваются предыстория и механизмы развития массового диссоциативного расстройства, зарегистрированного в фев-рале – апреле 2015 года в городе Жанаозен (Казахстан), где добывается 8 % всей казахстанской нефти. Изначально это было вахтовое поселение, предназначенное для кратковременного проживания работников нефтяной промышленности. Несмотря на суровый климат и неком-фортные условия проживания, благодаря относительно высоким зара-боткам город стал своего рода центром миграции этнических казахов, проживающих в других странах бывшего Советского Союза. Жесткое деление на своих и чужих, «нефтяников» и «прочих» создавало предпо-сылки для рекуррентно текущего внутригородского конфликта, на фоне которого развернулись трагические события декабря 2011 года, когда забастовка нефтяников закончилась кровавым побоищем. Высокий уро-вень травматического стресса, синдром жертвы, вторичная выгода от травматизации и относительная изоляция «пришлых» создали благопри-ятный фон для вспышки массового диссоциативного расстройства, ко-торое позже в сознании горожан ассоциировалось с массовой вакцинацией против кори. Авторы статьи описывают историю болезни города в промежутке от мая 2011 года до апреля 2015 года и рассматривают основные кризисы, перенесенные его жителями. The article considers prehistory and mechanisms of development of mass dissociative disorders registered between February and April 2015 in Janaozen, Kazakhstan, where 8 % of all Kazakh oil has been extracted since the 1950s. From the very beginning this town was the short-term settlement for the workers of oil industry. Despite harsh climate and uncomfortable living conditions on the one hand, and due to relatively high salaries on the other hand, the city became a “Mecca” for ethnic Kazakhs (oralmans), who migrated from other countries of the former USSR. The strict division between “ours” and “oralmans” created a variety of predispositions for the existence of a recurrent intra-city conflict, which served as a background for the tragic events of December, 2011. The strike of oil workers ended in a bloody carnage with long-lasting consequences. The high level of traumatic stress, the victim syndrome, secondary gain of traumatization, and relative isolation of oralmans created plausible conditions for explosion of mass dissociative disorders, which in social consciousness was associated with measles vaccination. The authors describe the medical history of the town in the period from May, 2011 to April, 2015. The main population crises are considered in the article.

The struggle against epidemics in diachronyМартиросян А.А., Зенина И.В.ГБОУ  ВПО Саратовский ГМУ им. В.И.Разумовского Минздрава РоссииКафедра иностранных языковThis article is devoted to the struggle against epidemics throughout the human history. The urgency of this theme is great in the field of medicine because issues pertaining to the value of life are among the most sensitive and controversial. The aims of this paper are:-to draw public attention to the problems of curing infectious diseases-to show the evolution of curing methods-to describe the prospective directions of modern research in microbiology concerning dangerous pandemics.At the beginning of mankind’s history smallpox epidemics occurred from time to time. Afterwards they happened in every country constantly. Many peoples both European and Asian tried to fight against them. The ingenious Hindus came up with variolation – they infected people with a mild form of smallpox. But it was dangerous – every 50th variolated patient died. Moreover, this method maintained the natural locus of disease. So, variolation seemed doubtful. In some countries it was even prohibited. In the 18th century an English doctor Edward Jenner discovered a vaccine against smallpox. He introduced the substance from cowpox vesicles obtained from the wound of a diseased woman to an 8-year-old Jimmy Phipps. He discovered that those who had recovered from cowpox were immune to smallpox. E.Jenner called his new method of preventing the disease “vaccination” from the Latin word “vacca” which means “a cow”. Since then, vaccination was granted to the whole mankind and smallpox began to disappear as if by magic. The final plan of preventive measures was elaborated by the scientists from the USSR. It was adopted by the WHO during the meeting in 1967. In 1980 it was officially announced that smallpox was fully defeated.Plague was the disease pandemic of which killed from 40 to 60 mln. people in Europe in the Middle Ages. The Earth envisaged 3 plague pandemics. The first vaccine against plague was invented by the Jewish scientist Vladimir Khavkin. It decreased the death rates 10 times and halved the level of disease occurrence. Real remedy was found during the WW II by the Soviet microbiologists. There are still up to 2500 cases of plague registered in the world annually. Mortality percentage is 5-10. There are no plague pandemics nowadays. However, the scientists and doctors should reveal and investigate each case of plague outbreak by modern means.The problems which modern science faces are the following: adequate training of medical stuff, lack of investments, state support of scientific research laboratories and institutions, world exchange of advanced scientific experience in the spheres of fight against dangerous infections.
