After travelling north as far as Archangel and Syumkin Vyselok, the plague stopped of its own accord for the simple reason that it could go no further-there are no chickens in the White Sea, as we all know.
It also stopped in Vladivostok, because after that came the ocean.
In the far south it died down and disappeared somewhere in the scorched expanses of Ordubat, Djilfa and Karabulak, and in the west it stopped miraculously right at the Polish and Rumanian frontiers.
Perhaps the climate there was different or the quarantine cordon measures taken by these neighbouring states helped.
But the fact remains that the plague went no further.
The foreign press discussed the unprecedented plague loudly and avidly, and the Soviet government, without kicking up a racket, worked tirelessly round the clock.
