The American Steps

In The American Steppe, David Moon examines the transfer of agricultural expertise and technology from the United States to Russia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

He explores how Russian reformers sought to learn from American agricultural practices to modernize their own agricultural system.

The book analyzes the impact of American agricultural innovations on Russian agriculture and society.

It highlights both the successes and limitations of this transfer of knowledge, as well as the cultural and environmental factors that shaped its reception in Russia.
