Features: The Condition of the Russian Working Class describes the life of the Russian laboring masses in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the insatiable exploitation of the working class by landlords and capitalists. Vleryovskiy's book is an early attempt to provide a realistic depiction of the Russian economic situation after the "emancipation" of the serfs. Although the book appears repetitive and overly detailed in some places, many chapters are written with exceptional clarity, vividness, and elegance. The extensive statistical data cited by Vleryovskiy is meaningful for studying the Russian economy in the 1960s and 1970s.
