It will probably surprise many American readers, as it certainly would surprise many educated Russians themselves, to learn that the Russian coöperative movement celebrated in 1915 its fiftieth anniversary. The first Russian coöperative society was established in 1865 in the village of Rogdestvenskoe, in the province of Kostroma. This society was soon followed by others. The year 1905 may be regarded as the turning-point in the history of the Russian coöperative movement. The first Russian revolution, with its agrarian unrest and riots, although defeated, made a deep impression on the more farsighted upholders of autocracy, who realized that something had to be done to erect a "dam against the revolutionary flood."
