Kharkiv National Medical University, Ukraine
Abstract. The book of British researcher Donald Filtser is an interesting example of how to examine a specific problem to make conclusions which not only solve it, but go beyond raising broader questions and creating a continuity in historical studies of different levels – from to intersubject. The author of this paper considering the key factors that affected the living conditions of the inhabitants of Soviet cities, comes the paradoxical conclusion that a lagging in living conditions in the USSR behind Western Europe, chronic underfunding of the destroyed urban infrastructure the Soviet regime achieved significant progress in curbing infectious diseases and reducing mortality. But the main conclusion of the author is to clarify how the nature of the Stalinist economic model influenced the character of redistribution of public investment in favor of a heavy industry which led to a chronic underfunding of a public health and urban infrastructure. The author makes the original conclusions which will be valuable to anyone who interested in the history of the Soviet Union.
Key words: The late Stalinist Russia, working history, water supply, urban sanitation, infant mortality, waste growth.

Коли локальна історія набуває більш широкого змісту: рецензія на книгу Дональда Філтцера «Небезпеки міського життя в пізній сталінській Росії: здоров'я, гігієна і рівень життя, 1943-1953»

Резюме. Книга британського дослідника Дональда Філтцера є цікавим зразком того, як слід розглядати конкретну проблему, щоб дійти висновків, які не тільки розв’язують її, а й виходять за її межі, піднімаючи більш широкі питання і створюючи таким чином наступність в історичних дослідженнях різних рівнів – від локального до міжпредметного. Автор даної роботи, розглядаючи ключові фактори, які впливали на умови життя мешканців радянських міст, доходить парадоксального висновку, що за відставання життєвих умов в СРСР від Західної Європи, хронічного недофінансування зруйнованої міської інфраструктури радянський режим досяг значних успіхів в приборканні інфекційних хвороб і зниженні смертності. Але головний висновок автора полягає у з’ясуванні того, як характер сталінської моделі економіки вплинув на характер перерозподілу державних інвестицій саме на користь важкої промисловості, що призвело до хронічного недофінансування охорони здоров’я і міської інфраструктури. Автор доходить оригінальних висновків, які будуть цінні для всіх, хто цікавиться історію СРСР.
Ключові слова: пізня сталінська Росія, робітнича історія, водопостачання, міська санітарія, дитяча смертність, збиткове зростання.

Когда локальная история приобретает более широкое содержание: рецензия на книгу Дональда Фитцера «Опасности городской жизни в поздней сталинской росии: здоровье, гигиена и уровень жизни, 1943-1953»
Харьковский национальный медицинский университет, Украина
Резюме. Книга британского исследователя Дональда Фитцера является интересным примером того, как следует рассматривать конкретную проблему, чтобы прийти к выводам, которые не только развязывают её, но и выходят за её рамки, поднимая более широкие вопросы и создавая таким образом преемственность в исторических исследованиях разных уровней – от локального до межпредметного. Автор данной работы, рассматривая ключевые факторы, которые влияли на условия жизни жителей советских городов, приходит к парадоксальному выводу о том, что при отставании жизненных условий в СССР от Западной Европы, хроническом недофинансировании разрушенной городской инфраструктуры советский режим достиг значительных успехов в обуздании инфекционных болезней и снижении смертности. Но главный вывод автора заключается в выяснении того, как характер сталинской модели экономики повлиял на характер перераспределения государственных инвестиций именно в пользу тяжёлой промышленности, что привело к хроническому недофинансированию здравоохранения и городской инфраструктуры. Автор приходит к оригинальным выводам, которые будут ценны для всех, кто интересуется историей СССР.
Ключевые слова: поздняя сталинская Россия, рабочая история, водоснабжение, городская санитария, детская смертность, затратный рост.
