For Peace and Money: French and British Finance in the Service of Tsars and Commissars by Jennifer Siegel
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3 MB
Overview: From the late imperial period until 1922, the British and French made private and government loans to Russia, making it the foremost international debtor country in pre-World War I Europe. To finance the modernization of industry, the construction of public works projects, the building of
railroads, and the development of the military-industrial complex, Russia’s ministers of finance, municipal leaders, and nascent manufacturing class turned, time and time again, to foreign capital. From the forging of the Franco-Russian alliance onwards, Russia’s needs were met, first and foremost,
by France and Great Britain, its allies, and diplomatic partners in the developing Triple Entente. Russia’s continued access to those ready lenders ensured that the empire of the Tsars would not be tempted away from its alliance and entente partners.
