Marx and the Russians

Abstract

The Postscript to the second edition to Capital Volume I showed that by 1873 Marx had already acquired some familiarity with economic literature in Russian. In it he referred to N.G. Chernyshevsky, N.I. Sieber and I.I. Kaufmann, the latter two authors being cited in connection with the reception of Capital in Russia. It so happened that just at the time when Marx had discovered the significance of economic developments in Russia and was turning his attention to that country, some Russians were beginning to appreciate the relevance of Marx’s work for the new situation created in their country by the abolition of serfdom in 1861. These two strands were closely interwoven in Marx’s relationship with Russia over the next decade, so that Marx’s study of Russia and the spread of his ideas in that country are two themes which are inseparably connected.
