Information about Vegetarianism in Russia you can find in the
following excellent book (in German language)
Peter Brang
Ein unbekanntes Russland
Kulturschichte vegetarischer Lebensweisen von den Anfängen bis zur
Gegenwart
Köln (u.a.): Böhlau, 2002, 471 S. ISBN 3-412-07902-2
Vegetarianism came to Russia towards the end of the 19th century and
spread widely before the First World War. Lev Lolstoj played a main and
significant role in this development. In his opinion, the abstention
from killing animals for food was the first step to a more humane
world. His vegetarianism was based mainly on ethical and religious
aspects. Toltoj's "Life Reform" led to the "Tolstoj Movement", and many
Russian artists and writers discussed the vegetarian ideas.
The book deals with the Russian vegetarian societies, the vegetarian
magazines and restaurants, the slaughterhouses and cookbooks, the
standpoints of the Russian doctors, the orthodox church, the sects, the
jews and esperantists towards vegetarianism.
After the Revolution in 1917, the vegetarianism in Russia was
oppressed and hushed up - only scientific utopia as well as science
fiction publications were allowed to discuss vegetarian topics.
