The technological lag of Russia to the second half of the 19th century became obvious: as clearly as possible it was demonstrated by the course and results of the Crimean war.
In search of options for quick modernization of the arms industry - and the army as a whole - the authorities of the empire turned to many manufacturers of modern infantry weapons, but cooperation with American inventors and companies played a key role in updating the Russian military sphere.
Joseph Bradley’s book tells about difficult, not always successful, but ultimately productive relations between American and Russian gunsmiths and the historical role that this partnership played.
Joseph Bradley is an honorary professor of history at the University of Talsa. The author of the books Muzhik and Muscovite: Urbanization in Late-Imperial Russia (1985) and "Public organizations in tsarist Russia: science, patriotism and civil society" (2012) His articles are printed in the magazines" Russian History "," Social Sciences and Modernity "," Russia XXI "," Bulletin of Moscow University, The American Historical Review, Slavic Review and Russian Review, as well as in the collection of Monadial Moscow: images of the departed Moscow Russian bourgeoisie "," Civil identity and sphere of civil activity in the Russian Empire: the second half of the XIX - beginning of the XX century "," Culture of the cities of the Russian Empire at the turn of the XIX - XX centuries", "Self -organization of the Russian community in the last third of the XVIII - early XX centuries"
