| Abstract [eng] |
In the historiography of the Soviet period, the issues of venereology are not discussed in the works of the doctors themselves. Research on the historiography of the independent Lithuania on this topic has not been detected, but a number of stories about the methods of forced treatment and upbringing in the Soviet period can be found in popular spoken history. Some very fragmentary data describe the incidence of venereal diseases and the fact of politicized medicine in Soviet Lithuania. Certain social groups such as hippies received extraordinary attention from the government due to their political activities. Usually they were put in the closed tyoe venerology wards. |
