The work of H. Annensky—namely, the “Report by the Head of the Statistical Department of the Nizhny Novgorod Guberniya Zemstvo Administration on the Situation of Artisans in the Pavlovsky District”—was published in the journal “Nizhny Novgorod Herald of Steamship Navigation and Industry,” in issues 4–3 for the year 1894.
Lenin meticulously analyzed Annensky’s materials in a small notebook. To verify and compare the data, Annensky’s figures were cross-referenced with the corresponding entries in the “Directory of Factories and Mills” (published in 1894).
In “The Development of Capitalism in Russia,” Lenin incorporated into his tables the data on Pavlovsk artisans that had been processed in this very notebook (Works, vol. III, pp. 525 and 525). Annensky’s report is mentioned in Lenin’s book alongside other sources, appearing on pages 262, 274, 524, and 357.
To the table listing the number of households and workers engaged in artisanal crafts in the Pavlovsky District, Lenin appended data concerning the Khvoshchevskaya Volost (the village of Selitba, specializing in axe production).
Below the table, Lenin also included supplementary data on the Vachsky District of the Murom Uyezd; Lenin regarded this district as part of the Pavlovsk artisanal region.
In light of these additions, Lenin carried out a series of calculations that were later incorporated into the tables in “The Development of Capitalism in Russia” (Works, vol. III, p. 525).
The data on the Vachsky District that Lenin presented toward the end of the notebook were drawn from Potresov’s report to the St. Petersburg branch of the Savings and Loan Association Committee in 1895.
NOTEBOOK: “ANNENSKY—REPORT ON PAVLOVSK ARTISANS”
In his report, Annensky estimated that roughly 2/3 of the workforce was employed in factories and by factory owners, while approximately 1/3 was engaged in artisanal production proper—productions that were directly destined for the market.
Meanwhile, in the Pavlovsky District, workers were predominantly employed by factory owners (3,438 versus 3,132).
In the Murom Uyezd, Annensky calculated:
1) For the Kondratovs—1,000 workers
2)
“The remaining ones”—1,500 workers—“in the other small workshops.”
However, this calculation was only approximate, highly rough, and directly contradicted by the available data.

If the Kondratovs truly employed up to 1,000 workers, then the official figures fall significantly short of reality. It turns out that the actual number of workers (both in factories and on the periphery) was nearly four times greater than the official figure (260 versus 1,000).
Based on this ratio, one might estimate (86 – 300)
^M 6 – 1,300)
that is, of the total 2,500–2,600 workers in the Vachsky District, at least half were likely employed by factory owners.
