Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Russia's Co-operative Movement through the tumultuous years surrounding World War I and the subsequent Russian Revolution. It provides readers with an accessible and insightful overview of the movement and its significance at a pivotal time. Focusing specifically on agricultural Russia, the author examines the movement's growth amidst the prevailing poverty and oppression of peasant life. The book's analysis of the movement's various forms—artels, agricultural societies, consumers societies, and credit societies—illuminates the cooperative ideal of eliminating middlemen to the benefit of the working class. Though examining a specific time and place, the book's insights into cooperation's transformative power extend far beyond its historical context. The evolution of the Russian cooperative idea remains an essential study for anyone seeking to comprehend the potential for social and economic change through collective action. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

- Modern History of Russia
Explore the rise of co-operation in Russia, from serfdom to a modern economic force shaping the nation’s future.
This edition presents a connected survey of the Russian co‑operative movement, tracing its growth through agriculture, industry, and trade. It highlights how co‑operation emerged as a powerful factor in Russia’s economy even under legal and political pressures, and it situates the movement against the backdrop of seismic social change.
The narrative foregrounds the interplay between farming life and cooperative effort, and it explains how peasant landholding patterns, allotments, and market needs influenced cooperative strategies. It covers key developments—from land reforms after serfdom to the formation of unions, consumer societies, and regional associations—while outlining the movement’s reach across Siberia, Moscow, and beyond. The work also explores ambitious international ideas, like an international cooperative exchange, and how these visions aimed to unite co‑operators worldwide.
- Understand how agriculture and rural life shaped early cooperative movements in Russia
- See the rise of unions, consumer societies, and regional cooperatives in the early 20th century
- Learn about attempts to coordinate international trade through a proposed International Co‑operative Exchange
- Discover examples of co‑operative growth in Siberia, Moscow, and other regions amid social upheaval
Ideal for readers of economic history and Russian history, this edition offers a clear, accessible account of how cooperation evolved into a national and international movement.
