The Reorganization of distribution network in Eurasia, from the viewpoint of Russian export of cotton textiles

尽管欧洲和俄罗斯都在19世纪经历了工业化，俄罗斯稍晚一些，但这两个地区都不适合种植棉花，至少与印度和中国等欧亚中部地区相比是这样。欧洲人欣赏亚洲的商品，在寻找替代进口这些亚洲商品的方法的过程中，欧洲人发展了他们的自然科学和技术，并扩大了他们的海上贸易。结果，他们完成了亚洲印花棉的进口替代。俄罗斯也通过中亚印花棉的进口替代实现了初步工业化。在那些自然资源或环境不利的地区，对外国商品或文化的欣赏成为创新的动力。以俄罗斯为例，对中亚印花棉（Kumach）的升值成为其现代棉花产业背后的推动力。

Although Europe and Russia both underwent industrialization in the 19th century, Russia somwhat later, both regions were unfavorable for the cultivation of cotton, at least in comparison to central Eurasian regions such as India and China. Europeans appreciated Asian commodities and in the process of finding methods for import substitution of these Asian commodities, Europeans developed their natural sciences and technologies, in addition to expanding their sea trade. As a result, they accomplished the import substitution of Asian printed cotton. Russia also realized initial industrialization through import substitution of printed cotton from Central Asia. In those regions with unfavorable natural resources or circumstances, the appreciation for foreign commodities, or cultures, becomes the engine of innovation. In the case of Russia, the appreciation for printed cotton (Kumach) from Central Asia became the driving force behind her of modern cotton industry.
