A long account contrasts Kate Marsden's famed Siberian lepers investigation with Russia's denial of lepers there. One side portrays her as brave and self sacrificing, while the other labels her a fraud and questions her claims. The debate touches imperial support, travel, and a 1896 Petersburg mission.
