Despite resources of Russia in products of a farm and in minerals, nevertheless, owing to ignorance

Despite resources of Russia in products of a farm and in minerals, nevertheless, owing to ignorance and degradation of its people, it - the bad country, and its export always - is more than its import. Its full riches in the inhabitant make only 305$, in comparison with 780$ on the inhabitant for [125] Germany, 1260$ for France, and
1510$ for the Great Britain and Ireland. Its full foreign trade makes only 5$ on the inhabitant whereas foreign trade of its neighbour, Germany, makes 35$ on the inhabitant. Its full domestic trade makes only 50$ on the inhabitant whereas even in Greece domestic trade makes 65$ on the inhabitant while in Germany it is 130$ on the inhabitant, and in 215$ on the inhabitant of the United States. The reason of all of it is shortage of energy and the industry in people. Their income in an average of the inhabitant only 12 cents a day. Other reason - shortage of modern household appliances. Comparing the inhabitant with the inhabitant, at Russia is only the one sixth steam power which Germany has. One half of all the countries is made in the country that is, without the driving power or cars. Any industry in Russia not completely to requirements of people when it is estimated under standards of other countries. For example, despite gravity of the climate, only two pounds of a crude wool in the inhabitant are consumed in woollen Russia, in comparison with seven pounds consumed in Germany, and full annual value of all makes only 20$ on the inhabitant, in comparison with 56$ in Germany, and 88$ in the Great Britain. Despite these adverse comparisons, do successes factory industries of Russia. In seventy years cotton-mills have increased and in thirty double years. In sixty years the cotton manufacturing industry has increased sevenfold, and in fifteen double years. Until recently Russia exported a wool. Now it imports more wool, than it exports. Ninety years ago in Russia iron was more expensive than bread, and peasants used wooden actions of a plough and have left their horses shoeless. Now consumption of hardware though still in the inhabitant the least in Europe, is nevertheless in aggregate the fourth in Europe though even in this case it - only two ninth, that it is in the Great Britain. [126] creation of sugar of the Beet - also the new industry, and 500 000 tons are made annually, number
The sugar works which are 235. The crop of a beet of the country makes almost 6 000 000 tons annually. But sugar consumption in the inhabitant makes only seven pounds annually, in comparison with eighteen pounds on the inhabitant in Germany. The universal industry everywhere across Russia - , and a skin of Russia, with its fragrant oil a birch aroma, is highly expensive goods all over the world. But the made quantity makes only 114 000 tons annually, and the exported quantity is insignificant.
