An examination of Russia's largest nineteenth century trade fair, one of the major centres of her internal commerce and trade with the East. Different aspects of the fair, such as the exchange of goods, the types of traders present and the social and cultural life of the fair, bring to light Russia's social and economic evolution. The impact of railroad construction, the development of a national market, the evolving role of the Russian state in commerce and the slowly emerging sophistication of the merchant "soslovie" are themes which contribute to the author's examination of trade at Nizhnii.

A good rainy day read,
By Martha Scott (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Russian Fair: Nizhnii Novgorod, 1840-90 (Hardcover)
I am well-read on Russia, having lived there temporarily, and this book is tops. The author shows amazing insight and does not hesistate to let the reader in on her racy experiences. A steamy read for the bedroom, but not for research projects!

If you are at all interested in the commerce of Russia specifically during the mid to late 1800's I would highly recommend this book. It is impeccably researched, well-written and is absolutely readable. It is a must read for truly understanding 19th century Russia.
