This book presents a comprehensive account of the life and work of Russian merchants throughout their history, from the 9th to the early 20th centuries. The author's sociocultural approach to reconstructing the multifaceted Russian merchant community allows him to encompass such aspects as differentiation and terminology, the general and the specific, socio-legal status and ambiguous relationships with the authorities, professional psychology and market mores, everyday life, and cultural level. Based on the synthesis and analysis of a significant range of written and material sources, the work is written in a language accessible to a wide readership and focuses on a multifaceted presentation of the everyday life and spiritual world of Russian merchants. Readers will learn about the appearance, dress, lifestyle, and diet of the distant predecessors of modern entrepreneurs. Particular attention is paid to the role of merchants in the country's cultural development. This book is recommended for university professors, researchers, archival, library, and museum staff, school teachers, and all history buffs.
