Catherine Salzman, Consumer cooperative societies in Russia, goals v. gains, 1900-1918.
The goals of the consumer cooperative movement fall into three categories. First, on an economic level, consumer societies tried to help members save money. Second, to promote the moral development of their members and, where possible, their political consciousness, they organized a wide variety of cultural and educational activities. Finally, the movement's leaders sought to use the general meetings of their societies to teach working class members to participate in running the cooperatives. The realization of these goals was hindered by traditional Russian habits, including reliance on credit, illiteracy, deference to authority and alcoholism, as well as by government repression and economic backwardness.
