Abstract

This article analyzes the qualitative changes taking place in the cottage industry of Kursk province in the 1860-1880s which took place due to the liberalization of social and economic order in the country and the region. The transformation of Kursk domestic industry was mediated by two main factors: the retraction of the region in the national market and the deterioration of the situation in the main sectors of the province economy - agriculture. New economic conditions of the 1880s generated the modernization trends in commodity sectors of the handicraft industry. At the same time, a serious drop in income of peasant farms which happened due to the crisis in the agricultural sector forced the villagers to expand the scope of operation of the patriarchal forms of industrial production.
