metadata.value: The article deals with the fundamentals of the activity and functions of the Andizhan branch
  of the Russian-Asian commercial bank (1910–1917) in Turkestan general-governship. In Soviet
  historiography, banks were understood as an instrument of colonialism, both Western
  and Russian. The author, based on archival data, proves that the financial institutions of the
  Russian Empire took into account local specifics and encouraged the production of exportoriented
  products. The author actively uses interbank correspondence, annual reports of the
  branch director, as well as audit materials of the Andizhan branch. For the first time in historiography,
  active and passive operations of the bank were investigated, the expenses and
  profits of the bank were analyzed, and the bank’s staff was studied. The author, unlike Soviet
  and post-Soviet researchers, believes that banks have not become monopolies in the economy
  of Central Asia. The largest Russian bank in the region that had an extensive branch network (13 branches) throughout Central Asia was the Russian-Asian Commercial Bank (until 1910
  the Russian-Chinese Bank). It should be noted that the Russian-Asian Bank was trying to
  take control of cotton production and industrial production. But in the end, the bank failed
  to become the locomotive of the region’s economic development. The main reason, according
  to the author, is the adaptation by the bank to the really existing economic relations in the
  Turkestan general-governorship and the khanates. The modernization of the Central Asian
  economy in the understanding of banks was to finance export crops and to mediate between
  the metropolis and the periphery. Colonial periphery at first glance seemed an attractive area
  for investing and receiving superprofits, but the speculative nature of the Turkestan economy
  prevented the normal development of banks. As a result, the economic modernization of Central
  Asia slowed and opened the way for the Soviet experiment.
