This is a valuable unpublished ph.D thesis which analyzes in great detail the development of Black sea grain trade in the 19th century based on official statistical series of the Russian Empire. The port cities, their foundation and evolution over time forms the basis of the analysis of the rise of the Black sea region in the international grain trade and the role of this process to the economic development. The development of the Black sea region is linked to the expansion of the productive hinterland, the expansion of sea and land transportation networks and the diffusion of the technology of steam. /Η διδακτορική διατριβή αναφερει την ανάπτυξη του ρωσικού εμπορίου στη Μαύρη θάλασσα και τις επιπτώσεις του στην οικονομία της εποχής.

The present volume places Imperial and Soviet Russia in a European context. Russia shared in a larger European modernity marked by increased overlap and sometimes merger of realms that had previously been treated as discrete entities: the social and the political, state and society, government and economy, and private and public. These were attributes of Soviet dictatorship, but their origins can be located in a larger European context and in the emergence of modern forms of government in Imperial Russia/ Το βιβλίο αναλύει όλους τους παράγοντες που οδήγησαν στον εκσυγχρονισμό της ρωσικής κοινωνίας κατά το 19ο αιώνα.

Η Σοβιετική Ένωση καταρρέει και η Ρωσία αναδύεται ως ένα μεγάλο έθνος-ένα τέλειο σενάριο, αλλά από την άλλη η Ρωσία δεν ήταν ποτέ ένα έθνος. Και αυτό βρίσκεται στην καρδιά του ρωσικού διλήμματος λέει o Geoffrey Hosking. Το παρόν βιβλίο αφορά στα 300 χρόνια ιστορίας του χτισίματος μιας αυτοκρατορίας εις βάρος της εθνικής ταυτότητας. Η Ρωσία ξεκινά τον 16ο αιώνα, με τη σύλληψη μιας από τις πιο εκτενής αυτοκρατορίες στην ιστορία. Ο Hoskins αποδεικνύει πως η προσπάθεια κατάκτησης, άμυνας και διοίκησης ενός μείγματος περιοχών και ανθρώπων κατέβαλλε τις παραγωγικές δυνάμεις των ανθρώπων και διέρρυξε τους κοινωνικούς τους θεσμούς.
Ούτε το κράτος, ούτε η εκκλησία μπόρεσε να δημιουργήσει ένα είδωλο ρωσισμού, που θα μπορούσε να ενοποιήσει την ελίτ με τις μάζες υπό την πεποίθηση ότι ανήκουν σε ένα έθνος. Ο Hoskins απεικονίζει δύο Ρωσίες, αυτή των ευγενών και εκείνη των χωρικών και αποκαλύπτει πως το κενό μεταξύ τους μεγάλωσε τον 18ο και 19ο αιώνα και πως επέστρεψε με τη μορφή του επαναστατικού κινήματος. Το βιβλίο κλείνει το 1917/
The Soviet Union crumbles and Russia rises from the rubble, once again the great nation--a perfect scenario, but for one point: Russia was never a nation. And this, says the eminent historian Geoffrey Hosking, is at the heart of the Russians' dilemma today, as they grapple with the rudiments of nationhood. His book is about the Russia that never was, a three-hundred-year history of empire building at the expense of national identity.
Russia begins in the sixteenth century, with the inception of one of the most extensive and diverse empires in history. Hosking shows how this undertaking, the effort of conquering, defending, and administering such a huge mixture of territories and peoples, exhausted the productive powers of the common people and enfeebled their civic institutions. Neither church nor state was able to project an image of "Russian-ness" that could unite elites and masses in a consciousness of belonging to the same nation. Hosking depicts two Russias, that of the gentry and of the peasantry, and reveals how the gap between them, widened by the Tsarist state's repudiation of the Orthodox messianic myth, continued to grow throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Here we see how this myth, on which the empire was originally based, returned centuries later in the form of the revolutionary movement, which eventually swept away the Tsarist Empire but replaced it with an even more universalist one. Hosking concludes his story in 1917, but shows how the conflict he describes continues to affect Russia right up to the present day.

Kahan, Arcadius, Russian economic history: the nineteenth century, University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1989
Upon the foundation of his unique experience and education, the late Arcadius Kahan (1920-1982) built a substantial body of scholarship on all aspects of the tsarist economy. Yet some of his important contribution might well have been dissipated were it not for this collection, since many of these essays were often available only in isolated, obscure sources. This posthumous volume makes readily available for the first time ten of Kahan's essays, nine previously published in English and one in German, which serve to integrate his carefully developed picture of nineteenth-century Russian economic history.
