Our view of the past is always biased because we know what the outcome of certain decisions will be. But contemporaries did not know. That is why their assessment of "historical" events is so interesting. "Dedicated to the newspapermen and journalists of the Russian Empire during the First World War" - with these words, professional economist and financier Alexander Lezhava begins his book.

Rising prices for sugar, candles and matches, prohibition, inflation, rising crime, the mass return of people with combat experience from the front, poppy cultivation and ether trade... - the author examines in detail all, even the darkest aspects of the economy, which shaped everyday life and really worried the citizens of the Russian Empire during its final years.
