WEST, JAMES L., 1944- / PETROV, IIURIA A., ed. . Merchant Moscow: images of Russia's vanished bourgeoisie. Edited by James L. West and Iurii A. Petrov ; with the collaboration of Edith W. Clowes and Thomas C. Owen. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1998, 1st printing number line ending with 1, ix, 189pp., . With the collapse of the Soviet system, the long-neglected history of the early capitalists is being recovered and rewritten. Once regarded as the "losers" in the Russian Revolution, these merchants can now be seen as early pioneers in Russia's transformation to a free market economy. This book is the first joint Russian-American collaborative project on the history of Russian entrepreneurship. Merchant Moscow puts a human face on early Russian capitalism. It presents thematic groupings of historic photographs paired with commentaries by contemporary Russian and American historians. The pictures provide a stunning, wide-ranging visual portrait of Imperial Russia's most influential entrepreneurial elite, the Moscow merchantry, while the accompanying articles interpret the photographs and place them in the larger cultural context of prerevolutionary Russia. Here is a surprising new view of the bourgeoisie during the Silver Age, revealed for the first time in this fascinating volume. - CONTENTS: Merchant Moscow in historical context ; A note on old belief / James L.
