Summary

Finances of Empire: Money and Power in Russia’s Imperial Borderlands is a comprehensive study of the development of the Russian Empire’s financial policies in the imperial borderlands. It examines Russian economic development from the “imperial perspective”, focusing on changing patterns of relationships between the Empire’s center and its peripheries.

The first part of the book (Center and Periphery in the Empire’s Budget) traces the evolution of an imperial budgetary system from the beginning of the 19

century, when the acquisition of Poland, Finland and Transcaucasia created a new phenomenon in the financial system – the budgets of borderlands, to partial (for Finland) or total (for other regions) subordination of regional economies under the centralized imperial treasury.

The second part of the book (Empire’s Burden) deals with the persistent problem of the “costs of empire”. It analyzes the discourse of specifically “imperial” financial burdens in the Russian Empire and scrutinizes different models of how the various regions were supposed to participate in covering Russia’s military expenses. Special attention is given as to the evolution of taxation structures in the borderlands.

The third part of the book (.Imperial policy and monetary integration) describes the challenges that the tsarist government faced in devising a unified currency. It traces the attempts by Russian administrators to replace local monetary units and to build a quasi-uniform “ruble zone” in non-Russian areas.

In the conclusion, the author develops her vision of a well-run “imperial financial management” and analyzes successes and failures of Russia’s economic policies in the borderlands.
