Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the growth of Russian agricultural power from its humble beginnings to its position as one of the world's leading food producers, from the early 20th century up to the First World War. At the turn of the 20th century, Russia was already a major producer of agricultural products and a supplier to Europe, but it had not yet reached its full agricultural potential. The author examines the rich natural resources of the Russian Empire, its vast areas of fertile land, its diverse climate, and its abundant water resources, and how these factors contributed to its agricultural development. The book also highlights the importance of government policies, such as land reforms and the establishment of agricultural banks, in promoting agricultural growth. The author also explores the role of technology, including the introduction of machinery and fertilizers, in increasing productivity. The book offers a glimpse into the lives of Russian peasants and their traditional farming practices, and how these practices evolved over time, as well as the role of the Russian Orthodox Church in shaping the agricultural landscape. The author concludes by emphasizing the resilience of Russian agriculture and its ability to adapt to changing conditions, which laid the foundation for its continued growth and importance in the 20th century.
