Crime and Delinquency in prerevolutionary Odessa/ Εγκληματικότητα και παραβατικότητα στην προεπαναστατική Οδησσό.
Taitbout de Marigny, Edouard, chevalier, Three voyages in the Black Sea to the coast of Circassia: including descriptions of the ports, and the importance of their trade: with sketches of the manners, customs, religion, London: J. Murray, 1837
Old Odessa, on the Black Sea, gained notoriety as a legendary city of Jewish gangsters and swindlers, a frontier boomtown mythologized for the adventurers, criminals, and merrymakers who flocked there to seek easy wealth and lead lives of debauchery and excess. Odessa is also famed for the brand of Jewish humor brought there in the 19th century from the shtetls of Eastern Europe and that flourished throughout Soviet times. From a broad historical perspective, this volume examines the hybrid Judeo-Russian culture that emerged in Odessa in the 19th century and persisted through the Soviet era and beyond. The book shows how the art of eminent Soviet-era figures such as Isaac Babel, Il'ia Ilf, Evgenii Petrov, and Leonid Utesov grew out of the Odessa Russian-Jewish culture into which they were born and which shaped their lives.

Tuna, Mustafa O., Imperial Russia's Muslims: Inroads of Modernity, Princeton University, Princeton 2009
Especially after the 1870s, reformist Muslim intellectuals and the Russian state provided two of those channels, and this dissertation argues that both of them failed in their aims. Several thousand Muslim reformists represented an opportunity for social mobilization, but then, they lost touch with the broader Muslim population, in effect distancing themselves from the values upheld by Muslim peasants. Moreover, the Russian state accused Muslim reformists of separatism and suppressed their activities. At the same time, Russian statesmen increasingly sought a more homogeneous population in order to keep Russia strong in the global competition for power and wanted to transform Muslims accordingly. But, agents of the imperial state could not enforce homogenizing policies compellingly while trying to maintain the regionally heterogeneous and non-participatory imperial governing system.
Ulianova, Galina, Female entrepreneurs in nineteenth-century Russia, Pickering and Chatto, London 2009
The present volume examines the history of female entrepreneurship in the Russian Empire during nineteenth-century industrial development. According to Russian law, women enjoyed the same property rights as men, so the principle of separate personal property in marriage made it possible for a woman to be independent in business matters. This study uses statistical information on female entrepreneurs from 1814 to 1900, and sociologically analyzes the data on a wide range of enterprises, from cottage industries to large-scale manufacturing operations. It also includes lively case histories which reveal the background to a number of family fortunes including instances of bankruptcy and property litigations between close family members.

Vasudevan, Hari, Commercialization and agriculture in late imperial Russia essays on Russian economic history, Department of History, University of Calcutta, Calcutta 1998
This volume presents first-time translations in English of the fundamental research of two eminent Soviet economic historians, P.I. Lyashchenko and A.M. Anfimov. The former was one of the most distinguished scholars of his time, and his History of the Russian National Economy is a classic. A.M. Anfimov has for long been one of the most redoubtable scholars of the Institute of History of the Soviet/Russian Academy of Sciences. "The essays deal with the grain trade and commercial agriculture in late Imperial Russia, substantially going against the trend of what is said about these subjects both in the USSR and in Euro-American literature. In the case of Imperial Russia's involvement in the international grain market, P.I. Lyashchenko indicates the experience was highly problematic. In the case of large scale capitalist agriculture in Russia of the same time, A.M. Anfimov demonstrates why it acted as a brake on improvements in production.

Westwood, J. N. (ed), Endurance and Endeavour. Russian History 1812-2001, 5th ed., Oxforf University Press, New Jersey 2002
In Russia, both rulers and ruled have long endeavoured to transform their country, each in their own forcible way. Their efforts never quite seemed to bring the results hoped for, and despite reform and revolution some things have changed very little. This book sets out to relate Russian tradition and circumstances to the events of history.
Wilkinson, Charles, An account of the navigationand commerce of theBlack Sea, London: W. Wilson, 1807
Τhis study of the raznochintsy, drawing on a rich array of archival, legal, administrative, and public sources, shows how this important but elusive category functioned in Russian society from the time of Peter the Great to the late nineteenth century. Challenging the traditional image of a rigidly hierarchical social structure, the study indicates that there was much more mobility within imperial Russian society than historians have previously thought.
