What is Modernizing Russia: From Serfdom to Industry about?

Russia in the 18th century was a largely agricultural society with a feudal system of serfdom. Serfs had few rights and lived under difficult conditions. After defeat in the Crimean War in 1854, Tsar Alexander II abolished serfdom in 1861. However, peasants struggled under the new system, as they had to pay to purchase their freedom and lost rights to communal land. Industrialization began slowly in the late 1800s through foreign investment and state-supported projects like railways and textile mills. Howev
