Why was Japanese industrialization more successful than Russian industrialization?
Necessity is the mother of invention. Island Empires, such as Britain & Japan; possess no means of survival...EVERYTHING must be imported. Anything that is home grown in their island empires is not enough to support, maintain, nor protect them.
Consequently, out of necessity...they are forced to invent!
Looking back on history, one can see those two empires have caused some earth shaking times; because they were forced to invent & design ways to get ahead...or perish.
Russia is not an island. It need not import in order to survive. They can survive on their own. And so they do. They do not invent; they just live; but there is a price to pay for that, it's called complacency...the feeling of security while unknown to them danger is approaching.
