A landmark work in the field of Soviet and Russian agrarian history, A Century of Russian Agriculture: From Alexander II to Khrushchev presents a sweeping and authoritative account of rural Russia across one of the most turbulent centuries in modern history. Lazar Volin, a preeminent scholar on Soviet agricultural economics, chronicles the dramatic transformation of Russian farming from the emancipation of the serfs in the 1860s through the collectivisation campaigns of Stalin and the agricultural reforms of the Khrushchev era. With meticulous scholarship and analytical depth, the work details the profound social, economic, and political forces that shaped the lives of Russia's peasant majority and the structures of its agricultural system. Drawing on extensive primary and secondary sources, Volin argues that the persistent tensions between the state and the agrarian population were central to understanding Soviet development as a whole. Published by Harvard University Press, this is an indispensable reference for students and scholars of Russian history, political economy, and Soviet studies.
