In this survey of the industrial development of Russia from Peter the great to the outbreak of the first world war, Mr Falkus describes the growth of industry in the wider contexts of agricultural and social circumstances and of the international environment within which industrialisation occurred. Account is taken of recent research both by Russian and non-Russian writers, and also of the differing interpretations of Russian industrial development found in Marxist and non-Marxist studies. An important feature of the survey is the examination of controversial issues in the literature of the subject: for example, the problem of whether there was an 'industrial revolution' in Russia before the Emancipation of the Serfs; the economic significance of the emancipation itself; and whether Russia had achieved a 'take-off' by 1914. Many of the statistical tables derive from Russian sources , and the Bibliography lists relevent works in English, russian and French.
