Economic history is overshadowed by political history. Monarchs and military leaders are remembered better than past trade successes or economic crises. Even the names of goods that once played a role in Russian exports comparable to the precious Siberian sables of the early Romanovs or gas and oil today are completely forgotten by our contemporaries.

Meanwhile, the history of the Russian economy is no less dramatic and fascinating than the political and military upheavals of our past.

How much Rus' paid the Horde, how Pushkin overlooked bread coupons, the price of cat fur, and the true value of black gold—historian Alexei Volynets will tell us all this and much more about the past of our economy.
