St Petersburg : Industrialization and Change

2014

The detailed assessment of the impact of industrialism on the deteriorating conditions of life at or near the bottom of the social scale, on the cellared and shiftless condition of the everlasting, swarming peasantry, and on the inexorably rising tide of social prob- lems, including the city's notorious morbidity, is particularly telling. [...] By casting the net much wider in the analysis of the interplay of industrialization and urbanization, I am even more conscious of the need for further exploration of several of the themes. [...] I have also benefited from the assistance of staffs of the following institutions: the Library of Congress, Washington; the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, London; x Preface The National Museum of Finland, Helsinki; and last, but hardly least, the Saltykov-Shchedrin Public Library, Leningrad and the Lenin Library, Moscow. [...] Front endpaper: A view of the Nevskiy Prospect Back endpaper: A view of the Nobel Metal-working Factory i The Sennaya Market in winter z A View of the Strelka and the St Peter and Paul Fortress 3 The Academy of Science 4 The Admiralty 5 The Port 6 Dockside activities 7 The Sennaya Market in summer 8 The Birzha 9 The Grand Theatre and Square ro The Winter Palace II Setting up the Alexander Column r [...] Comparison and analysis of the structure and spatial pattern of the same components of the urban system on the eve of the Great War allow opportunities for insight into the nature of the processes we are dealing with.
