artel

[Deanna Chiasson]

Now I have discovered references to mining or prospecting artels (in
Russia) in English-language publications (sometimes glossed as
"associations")  and am wondering if the use of  "artel" continues
exclusively in this field and how these artels differ in function from
the old Soviet ones.
