Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the main measures of prevention and control of tuberculosis in the 1920s in Omsk and the adjacent region (province, district). This issue is not reflected in the developments of historiography. The basis for the study is a set of sources combining the records of Soviet authorities, institutions and organizations, journalism and periodicals. The work is based on both general historical methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and special historical methods (historicalchronological, historical-systemic, historical-genetic). The final part presents the key achievements and problems in organizing the fight against tuberculosis in the Omsk region during the specified period.
