| The article focuses on prerevolutionary history of Russian ferrous metallurgy. Its development was uneven in various historical periods, experiencing both rises and declines, and the state politics played the key role in this process. Not sufficiently thoughtful reforms of 1861, or free export of ferrous metals from abroad in 1861–1880 produced a negative impact, whereas protectionist measures of 1880–1890s (protection of the internal market through custom duties, stimulation of the national producers) were highly beneficial. However, despite these successes, prerevolutionary ferrous metallurgy in Russia was lagging behind the leading Western countries both in absolute values and especially as far as per capita consumption is concerned. | Key words: iron, protectionism, Russian Empire, steel, customs duties, ferrous metallurgy, cast iron | Pages: 221 - 227 |
