This dissertation is a study of malaria control campaigns in the Soviet Union during the interwar period (1920-1941). Through malaria control, it examines the interrelated histories of medical knowledge, public health practice, and revolutionary state-building in the early Soviet Union. Beginning with the devastating malaria epidemics that struck the Soviet state in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and Civil War, and ending with the outbreak of the Second World War, it interrogates how local conditions, all-Union policies, and transnational medical expertise shaped both malaria epidemics and state efforts to combat them. Tracing Soviet malariology through the New Economic Policy, the "Great Break," and the Stalinist 1930s, I offer insight into the evolution of a distinctly Soviet medical project and the revolutionary order of which it formed part. I show how Soviet malariology was shaped by the ideas of Marxism-Leninism and, even more importantly, how it became deeply implicated in the practices of Soviet state power. Ultimately, I argue that malaria control became inseparable from the revolutionary political project itself-the drive to collapse politics, science, and social life into a unified revolutionary reality constituted by the administrative structures of the state.My dissertation makes three core interventions. First, in relation to Soviet history, it offers a framework for moving beyond the state-society binaries that have defined - and limited - scholarly analysis of Soviet state power. Drawing on methods from Science and Technology Studies, I show how both state and society were constituted within complex networks of social and material relations. Doing so, I offer a perspective capable of exploring the totalizing claims of Soviet power without falling into conceptual binaries or accepting total power as a reality. Second, I offer a new vision of Soviet empire in Central Asia. Moving beyond the questions of cultural difference and nationality policy, I argue that the Soviet Union was an inclusive empire that operated through differential integration of peoples and territories into the system of central planning. Third, I uncover a distinctly Soviet model of social medicine. This model rejected the statistical abstraction and objectification of western social sciences. Instead, it used the tools of administrative integration to grasp and act upon the socio-ecological particularity of disease, and approached public health campaigns as part of a wider project of revolutionary state-building.
