1861 - The Railways of the Russian EmpireSKU: 1861

From the Crimean War, the Russian government realized that railways were a vital military resource as well as an impetus for economic growth. They raised capital by selling the lands and used the money to subsidize the construction of railways. The endemic corruption in Russia meant that a lot of this money ended up in the coffers of the railway barons, scams akin to the Credit Mobilizer were commonplace. Nevertheless, by the Revolution Russia was criss-crossed by many thousands of miles of railway. Indeed, the Revolution would not have occurred without the industrialization which grew as a result of the rail network. 1861: The Railway of the Russian Empire is limited run game.
