It would seem that the plague, like everything connected with it, remained in the distant past. But even now, the mere mention of her shudders.
In terms of the number of victims, no war can compare with it.
In the 14th century, in order to take Kafa, Khan Janibek ordered people who had died from the plague to be thrown through the walls into the city. The calculation was that the plague would kill the townspeople. But they threw the corpses into the river, along which the infected bodies carried the water to the ships of the khan.
And yet the plague began to mow down the inhabitants of Kafa.
Kafa, khan, city of the dead, murder of townspeople, 14th century.
The people who managed to escape from the city spread the plague all over the world.
No matter how individual people and entire cities tried to isolate themselves, Europe fell ill with the “black death”.
People were buried in huge mass graves. Some were not buried for fear of infection.

Some tried to flee, others turned to God, joined sects, or recklessly declared that they were not afraid of anything.
But the disease did not spare anyone. In five years (from 1347 to 1352), she claimed more than thirty million lives.
The plague is not gone
In African countries and now from time to time outbreaks of plague foci.
Low level of hygiene, lack of knowledge about how to take care of and how to treat the plague, create favorable conditions for any disease.
