Abstract
The article tells the history of World Tuberculosis Day as well as the history of preserving the heritage of Robert Koch in Russia and Europe. On March 24, 1882, Robert Koch presented the results of his research on the etiology of tuberculosis. This research has made it possible to diagnose and treat the "white plague" which remains the deadliest infection in the world still killing more people than cholera, malaria, AIDS, and COVID-19.
