Alessandro Stanziani, Specialists, bureaucrats and peasants. The agricultural supplies during the First World War, 1914-1917. Is there any difference between the tsarist administration of the economy and a war economy, i.e. between an agrarian bureaucracy and a militarized industrial bureaucracy? In order to answer this question, the author describes the opposition among different branches of the tsarist bureaucracy and, within each branch, the opposition between the administrators and the specialists. In particular, the author analyzes the formation and the evolution of the main administrative organizations in charge of the management of the economy: the General Conference of the Ministry of Agriculture, the economic bureau of the zemstva, towns, cooperatives, etc. In all these cases, the relationship between economic knowledge and administrative practice is discussed. At the same time, the political role of economic knowledge cannot be fully understood without taking the peasantry into consideration. The last paragraph of the paper describes the action of the war in the countryside. Different kinds of exchanges are developed; the organization of the agrarian production also changes: men go to war, and the village is led by women, teenagers and old men. The author tries to show the result of those phenomena on social hierarchies, i.e. on the relations between peasants and landlords, between different social groups and generations of peasants, and finally between peasants and towns.
