The article analyzes recent trends in the business history of Russia and its interrelations with mainstream business history. The authors explore the extent to which the business history of Russia can contribute to the development of the discipline. To do so, they use an “alternative business history” framework. They argue that Russian business history is a disciplinary hybrid. As such, it can reasonably be considered as an interesting testing ground for business history, which seems to be searching for a new identity among history, economics, and organizational and managerial studies. In addition, Russian business history still has considerable potential for providing new voices and stories and for contributing to international debates and a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between enterprise, state, and society.

本文分析了俄罗斯商业史的最新趋势及其与主流商业史的相互关系。作者探讨了俄罗斯商业史对学科发展的贡献程度。为此，他们使用了“另类商业历史”框架。他们认为，俄罗斯商业史是一个学科混合体。因此，它可以合理地被视为商业史的一个有趣的试验场，它似乎在历史、经济学、组织和管理研究中寻找新的身份。此外，俄罗斯商业史在提供新的声音和故事、促进国际辩论以及对企业、国家和社会之间的关系进行更细致入微的理解方面仍有相当大的潜力。
