The Russian Cooperative Movement PDF Download

Excerpt from The Co-Operative Movement in Russia: Its History, Significance and Character The present momentous days are inscribing new pages and new chapters in the history of the world and particularly in the history of my country which will have a great effect upon the future of the Co-operative Movement. The great Russian Revolution has liquidated the old order and a new epoch is making its entry in Russia. Even under the old régime the young shoots of the Co-operative Movement have made a brave show. In spite of the absence in the law of enactments legalising and regulating the Co-operative Movement in Russia, in spite of administrative interference and oppression, Co-operation has become a power in Russia to be reckoned with. During the war the Russian Co-operative Movement was recognised as one of the main economic factors in the life of the country. The book which is now submitted to the public is the first attempt in the English tongue to give a connected systematic survey of the Co-operative Movement in Russia. The material collected in this volume brings the Cooperative Movement almost right up to the revolution. In order to throw the Co-operative Movement in proper relief I have given at the beginning of the book some information of a general nature upon the position of Agriculture in Russia.
