About the book: 2008 / This publication is dedicated to the history of the development of entrepreneurship in Russia during the 18th-19th centuries. This is a fascinating story about such glorious dynasties as the Demidovs, Tretyakovs, Mamontovs, Abrikosovs, and many others, whose names are undeservedly forgotten or are rarely remembered, although thanks to these people, Russia already at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century was among the main partners in the world market. It is no coincidence that the Brocards, Nobels and other Europeans became Russian entrepreneurs and did business in the Russian state.
