Moscow Copper Riot

[William Ryan]

I can't offer advice on the first point but on the second I suppose 
Pososhkov (1652-1726) has a claim to be the first to write a treatise in 
Russian which could be thought of as economics, and fortunately it is 
available in English. See: Ivan Pososhkov, The book of poverty and 
wealth; edited and translated by A.P. Vlasto and L.R. Lewitter; 
introduction and commentaries by L.R. Lewitter, London, Athlone Press, 
1987.
