    • Abstract:
      The authors address study by Kosenko and Polianski about the use of unique communication tools to attract attention to syphilis in the first half of the 20th century in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the U.S. Topics discussed include use of stage plays called "Living Newspapers" during the Great Depression in the U.S., two major components of the Spirochete Living Newspaper, and other public strategies in which syphilis control was heavily prioritized and collectivized.
