This first comprehensive analysis of Russian corporations examines
capitalism under the tsarist and late Soviet regimes from the
perspectives of geography, economic policy, and ideology. It draws
on the author's new database of all corporations chartered by the
tsarist government and utilizes the obscure memoirs of domestic and
foreign business leaders. In Russian Corporate Capitalism from
Peter the Great to Perestroika, Thomas C. Owen explores the impact
of bureaucratic restrictions, assesses the entrepreneurial
capabilities of founders from various social and ethnic groups, and
presents numerous tables and graphs that for the first time
describe the corporate elite of the Russian Empire and its ten
largest cities. Owen also stresses historical continuities,
especially the persistence of anticapitalist attitudes, both
radical and reactionary, into the 1990s. A provocative final
chapter considers the implications of the weak corporate heritage
for the future of Russian capitalism. This remarkable book will be
of interest to the general reader interested in Russian business
and history as well as to scholars of Russian economics, politics,
and culture.
