Yeah, anecdotal evidence suck in general. Guess I'll dig deeper now that discussion sparked some interest 🤣

that is sign of a deeply unhealthy society

A (huge) bit of a stretch, but I can attribute some of that to old habits dying hard and general state of medicine at the time. I mean Semmelweis discovered that treating tools and medical apparel with chlorine vastly reduces the risk of developing childbed fewer around 1850, and before that having more gore and gross around seemed desirable, and even then the idea was mostly rejected :/ Definitely not the only reason, but a possible one for sure.

do you know what happened under his evil-minded tyrant of a son Alexander III

I don't remember the details, but yeah, dude decided to unload a shit ton of conservatism :/
