Abstract
During the nineteenth century, famines seemed to strike Russia in a more or less regular pattern. A volume published by the Central Statistics Committee (CSK) in 1871 referred to poor harvests in 1820-1, 1833-4, 1839-40, 1843-6, 1848-51, and 1854. The Report of the Council of Ministers drafted in 1842 implies that food shortages recurred every 6-7 years (Brokgauz and Efron 1893). During the 1860s the worst years were between 1867 and 1869. In the last quarter of the century, there were famines in 1872-3, in 1882-4, and in 1892. At the beginning of the twentieth century, local scarcities affected one or other region of Russia almost annually, and they were particularly serious in 1906 and 1911 (Buxman 1923).
