Lenin pointed to the timber industry of the North as a promising opportunity for cooperation with Western interests and the Soviet state soon introduced timber concessions. However, these concessions were not particularly profitable and ended up as a short-lived experiment. This article analyses why timber concessions failed to make a profit, a critical question for the NEP’s semi-capitalist economy. It finds that monetary reforms that began with the re-establishment of central banking in October 1921 and ended in May 1924 with the new ruble clearly contributed to the failures of the timber concessions. The relative stability of the new currency was seen as an important achievement, but with the exchange rate initially fixed, the new ruble became overvalued. Thus, the export of goods purchased in new rubles became less profitable, or simply unprofitable. This led to severe difficulties for timber concessions such as Russangloles, Russhollandoles and Russnorvegoles. We focus on the important Russnorvegoles concession. We also find that there were two occasions when this concession succeeded in circumventing the problem of the overvalued ruble for short periods, yet acting contrary to Soviet interests in this way contributed to the end of Western interests in the company.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"34 1","pages":"71 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2021.1864918","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47637756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines their efforts to do so through local challenges to the central appointment of a regional commissar (gubernskii komissar), the re-election of the municipal Duma, and the establishment of unions of local soviets across Eniseisk province and Siberia more generally. Considering these three cases, it challenges the idea that demands for local autonomy in Siberia were primarily pressed during this time by self-professed regionalists (oblastniki) whilst being shunned by socialists. Instead, it demonstrates that groups from across the political spectrum – foremost amongst them local socialists – adopted and developed their own agendas for local autonomy. It further contends that the idea of local autonomy did not express local actors’ desire to break away from the wider all-Russian state, but rather to reposition themselves within it, in the process refashioning the ‘geography of power’ on a more egalitarian basis. The article provides a contribution to understandings of Siberia in revolution, and to the role and self-conceptualisation of local actors in reconstructing state power.","PeriodicalId":42121,"journal":{"name":"Revolutionary Russia","volume":"34 1","pages":"45 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09546545.2021.1909850","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43223912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
