Abstract
The article is devoted to epizootics of anthrax, which has been known to mankind since ancient times and caused enormous damage, causing death of animals and people. Russian chronicle sources, starting from the 10th century, testify about devastating epidemics, the nature of which was unknown at that time. Scientists first discovered anthrax bacilli in the blood of sick animals in 1855 and proved their role in causing the disease in different species of animals and humans. The research of Lev Semyonovich Tsenkovsky on obtaining the first Russian anthrax vaccine and his work on developing the foundations of bacteriology in Russia are discussed.
