Russia's economy has developed more slowly throughout…
1888 CE to 1899 CE
The population of Russia is substantially larger than those of the more developed Western countries, but the vast majority of the people live in rural communities and engage in relatively primitive agriculture.
Industry, in general, has greater state involvement than in western Europe, but in selected sectors
it is developing with private initiative, some of it foreign.
The population doubles between 1850 and 1900, but it will remain chiefly rural well into the twentieth century.
Russia's population growth rate from 1850 to 1910 is the fastest of all the major powers except for the United States.
