		Russia was unable to provide it in sufficient quantities and, hence, foreign investment was widely encouraged.
		e) Finally, the common people of Russia (the ones that constituted the backbone of the labour force of the country) were largely uneducated (in 1914 only 10% of the population was literate), often mistrustful and suspicious of the rules, and hence, generally unproductive.
		Russia never lacked potential, but it often ran out of time; and the late tsarist period was a good example of it.

	Russia, Foreign Policy, New Directions - JRL 12-7-05
		Russia’s vast Eurasian geography naturally creates diversified challenges West, East, and South—they always have for Russia during Tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods—but these geopolitical challenges recently have been complicated by an historically extraordinary diminution of state capacity and international influence during the chaotic 1990s following the collapse of the USSR.
		Russia’s Soviet legacy as a nuclear superpower endures, and this makes the United States’ still Russia’s principal interlocutor on issues related to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear security.
		This “option” was raised on a number of occasions in the past decade as a response to the perception of an overly domineering United States, to the expansion of NATO, or to the expansion of the mission of NATO as exemplified by the war in Kosovo.

		Russia's monarchical police state was similar to those in western Europe except that it lagged far behind in its political evolution and was much less efficient.
		The foundations of the tsarist police state were established in 1826, when Tsar Nicholas I formed the so-called Third Section, a political police whose purpose was to protect the state from internal subversion.
		Herein lies one of the crucial differences between the monarchical police state of tsarist Russia and the Soviet regime, which from the outset used violence to preserve its rule and gradually extended the violence to affect broad segments of the population.

		Despite repressive conditions in Russia and high levels of emigration to the United States, the Jewish population grew rapidly in the nineteenth century; by the beginning of World War I, an estimated 5.2 million Jews lived in Russia.

	Russian Legacy \| Russian History - E. Prussakov - Tsarist Economy
		This period is also known as the period of industrial 'boom' in Russia and it was during that time that the industrial output of the country raised from 5% per annum (figures of 1861-85) to 8-9% per annum.
		According to Gregory, by the outbreak of the Crimean War, Russia was the world's largest debtor nation.
		All of the above clearly points to the fact that regardless of the famous period of the industrial 'boom' of the 1890s by 1914 Russian Tsarist economy slid into a state of general economic backwardness, being unable to sustain the economic successes of the 1890s.

	Tony Cliff: Russia - A Marxist analysis (Chap.9)
		The same relative backwardness drives Russia towards the establishment of industries in the countries of the oppressed nations, and as the obverse of the same, to loot capital wherever she can lay hold of it.
		The addition to Russia of a hundred million people from the countries of Eastern Europe is therefore an important motive for the expansion of Russian imperialism, corresponding to the export of capital from the countries of advanced capitalism.
		Russia is the exclusive agent selling Chinese products in the Western markets, and the fact that she can afford to sell them at prices below those prevailing in China itself – and there is no question that Russia makes a profit on the transaction – indicates clearly that she pays exceptionally low prices for them.

		It is about the development of socialist revolution and it is about the peasants, workers, soldiers, and leaders who waged and won the revolution which for a time shook the foundations of western capitalism.
		During the Second World War it was the Red Army which bore the brunt of fighting against Nazi Germany and which had battered and broken the Wehrmacht before the western Allies set their feet on the beaches of Normandy.
		We will look at Russia, as Russians saw and see their country, not as westerners might want it to be.

		In a fascinating chapter on the "sporting life," the author describes how relations between the classes played out and were altered by the commercialization of equestrian activities, the growth of amateur athletic societies (especially bodybuilding), yacht and bicycle clubs, and (dismally unsuccessful) soccer.
		A particularly engaging chapter ("The Actress and the Wrestler") portrays Maria Savina, "who turned herself from an impoverished orphan into tsarist Russia's premier actress" at the Alexandrinka theater, and who was "empowered" by her own "commodification" in the new commercial culture.
		She concludes with an essay on "Tsarist Russia's dream factories," silent motion pictures which arrived around the turn of the century.

	The Military History of Tsarist Russia
		This book, the first one-volume overall view in English of the development of Russia’s armed for-ces, consists of 13 monographs ranging from the rise of the Muscovite army of the 1400s to the collapse of the tsarist army in 1917.
		Collectively, these essays are well written and very informative about Russia’s military history in the tsarist era, conveying especially well how political, social, and economic factors affected military development and the conduct of military operations.
		At the same time, the collected essays remind us that the attainment of this vast empire would also be a source of Russia’s relative military decline toward the end of the nineteenth century as it faced new, modernizing, and relatively more powerful enemies- Germany in the west and Japan in the east.

	Rewriting Capitalism: Literature and the Market in Late Tsarist Russia and the Kingdom of Poland
		Industrial capitalism's first wave had indeed come to Imperial Russia and its subjected territory of the Kingdom of Poland by the last decades of the nineteenth century, resulting in a rapid and painful transformation of traditional agrarian societies.
		Prus's capitalist characters in The Doll are as intent on maintaining their nobility of spirit, defined as a Polish national trait, as they are on amassing fortunes in a "misalliance of idealism and materialism" (p.61).
		While a coherent middle class had yet to emerge in Russia and Poland, an array of diverse and fragmented groups held sufficient numbers to comprise an eager audience for a writers of hybrid works that bridged "serious" and popular literature and were connected to the market, both in terms of sales and themes of consumption.
