Chapter Chapter 5 in Russia on the Move, 2022, pp 147-208 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The challenge put forward in this chapter was briefly mentioned in Chap. 4 : the emergence of anti-atomization or the consolidation movements were politically unintended “battleships” that rode the waves of socioeconomic adaptation to the processes of urbanization and technological progress. This chapter explores the actual effects of industrialization on the late Tsarist Russian peasantry as opposed to those intended by the Tsarist government and traditionally assumed by those who study the Tsarist import of technology, with railroad construction at its heart. Did this process impoverish the peasant population while replenishing and strengthening the perceived legitimacy of the Tsarist autocracy? Or was it the other way around?
