A century and a half ago, oil in Russia was sold only in pharmacies - it was used to lubricate the throat during angina. And today, 'black gold' is one of the pillars of the national wealth of a great state.
The book contains the entire history of the Russian oil industry - from the discovery in the 10th century of the first sources of 'combustible waters' on the Taman Peninsula and in the lower reaches of the Kuban River to the oil boom of the 19th century, which turned Russia into one of the leading powers in the world. A special role is given to the Nobel dynasty, whose efforts transformed artisanal oil production in the vicinity of Baku into a world-class business.
The book 'History of Russian Oil' is unique and has no analogues in Russia: a large part of the historical texts and documents included in it are unknown to the general reader. The publication is adorned with rich illustrative material from gift albums published for various anniversaries of the 'Nobel Brothers' Society, as well as works of classical painting.
