Description :
Role of the sable fur trade in the economy of 17-th century Siberia on the basis of fur tribute and fur tithe returns from the region of most intensive hunting from the 1620s-1680s, when hunting by Russians was banned. He compares the dynamics of sable hunting in Mangazeya and Yakutsk Counties and in Yeniseysk and Ilimsk Counties. The value of the fur catch was three to four times greater than that of the grain harvest, but fur trading was more rapacious and less long-lasting than farming.
