As far as I remember reading Russia is recognized to have entered industrialization in 1890s, this is when it had developed its own heavy industries hence becoming not reliant on foreign imports for steel in particular. This is usually recognized as essential element for industrialization. There was also heavy investment in Russian industry particularly from France, who's capital and trade drove development. At this time you as well begin to see manufacturing companies to be emerging.

The US was also steaming ahead and leaving Russia way behind in terms of GDP growth, but I think other European countries also had trouble keeping up with the US.Wow, I never realized how abysmal Russian literacy rate was at the time. I guess it shows where the government failed in 19th century.
The other thing I remember is that literacy rates went from abysmally low at the turn of the century to more than 40% in 1914.
