Summary: This article presents the analysis of the nature of American and Prussian variants of capitalism development in the agricultural
sector of the Russian economy, including the Siberian region, during the second half of the XIX and the early XX centuries. This
problem is topical in relation to the discussion on the inevitability of the February Revolution of 1917. The aim of the research is to
identify specificities and commonalities of American and Prussian variants of capitalism development in agriculture by giving a brief
retrospective of the initiation and evolution of two ways of capitalism development in the agricultural sector of the Russian economy
and their implementation forms. This matter is examined through the dialectical-materialistic learning method. After studying the
issue, the historical place of the Prussian variant of capitalism development in the Russian agriculture is defined as a transitional
economic form between forced and farm labour approaches of Russian agricultural production. The specificity of American and
Prussian ways of capitalism development in the Siberian region’s agriculture during this period is investigated. These two ways had coexisted there as well as in the European part of Russia until the Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War in the east of the country. |
