context_page_description: The promyslovik, not to be confused with promyshlennik, were Russian and indigenous Siberian artel or self-employed workers drawn largely from the state serf and townsman class who engaged in the Siberian, maritime, and later Russian American fur trades. Initially the Russians in Russian America were Siberian fur hunters, river merchants, and mercenaries although many later worked as sailors, carpenters, artisans, and craftsmen. Promyslovik formed the backbone of Russian trading operations in Alaska. Some of them worked on preliminary request contracts, including Russian-American Company and their duties and activities became less involved in the company's fur-gathering activities.
