In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, "nutrient processing industries," as they were then called, ranked second only to manufacturing entrepreneurs in terms of output.
The luxury of the Yeliseyevsky grocery stores, the carefully preserved confectionery traditions of the Abrikosovs, the famous "Tea Empire" of the Perlovs, and the beginnings of dairy production pioneered by Nikolai Vereshchagin—these are just some of the many facets of Russian food merchants in the 19th and 20th centuries. PhD in history, Sergei Rogatko, writes in detail about their development during this pivotal century.
How were business connections established, deals concluded, conflicts resolved, and reputations forged? How did merchant families live, honor traditions, and engage in education and art? And how did the era change the merchant class itself: from fair trade to complex urban and industrial communities?
This book is a unique study based on archival materials. The first work in Russia to show the history of food entrepreneurship without embellishment or simplification.
