Russia, unlike the western European Countries, did not take a significant part in the Industrial Revolution; and it maintained a feudal economy until 1861, when the serfs were emancipated. The freed serfs (who had been little better than slaves) were allocated a sort of share in community land; but they could not sell their land. Thus they remained tied to the land, or else left for the cities, penniless.

By 1914, Russia dis have an fledgling industrial economy; but most of the population were still agricultural workers.


The great Soviet move to industrialisation occurred after the war, under Lenin's successor, Stalin.
