Enlightened century, century of humanism and progress! You amuse the heart of man, lift up his mind, open to him all sorts of miracles in science and art, but you do not see that your weapon is double edged, you do not see that your many-branched tree is burning from one end with a brilliant and bright flame […] but from the other end it is covered in the gloom of despair and death, the groans of terror and screams, the torments of tears and blood. You are life and death, you are heaven and hell.
A. Klitin, Our Time and Suicide, 1890The phenomenon of suicide imposes a moral duty on the representatives of various specializations to labor together and develop preventative measures against this evil which in our days has become the disease of the century.
