(Dis-)Connected. Railway, Steamships and Trade in the Port of Odessa 1865–1888
After the end of the Crimean War, politicians, engineers, and economists alike debated about the future of the port of Odessa. Two particular issues emerged: The rising age of steam forced Odessa to adapt its port’s infrastructures to bulky steamships and questioned its place in the developing railway network of Imperial Russia. This contribution argues that by balancing economic and military (geostrategic) demands, ministry officials and engineers laid the foundation both for Odessa’s success in the 1860s and 1870s and its failures in the 1880s and 1890s.
