The global community is worried by the state of things in our country, aware of the global threat this infection poses and is therefore offering Russia practical help. By the way, strings are indeed attached sometimes. Perhaps this is the reason for our difficult relations with the West.

Recently we have received a perplexed letter from the staff of Murmansk Regional TB Dispensary. Incidentally, a copy of the letter has been forwarded to St-Petersburg TB Research Institute which is this TB Dispensary's official supervisor. At first glance, the issues raised in the letter are quite burning and the questions asked are quite blant.the only problem, it's an anonymous letter. Our initial impulse was to deliberately ignore it, since this is our usual policy with any anonymous mail, but on second thoughts we decided to publish it, even if abridged. Because the problems worrying the doctors from Murmansk are being puzzled over almost everywhere.
