Artel

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called an "artel". An artel is a group of people who work together to do a job or make something. It's kind of like when you and your friends work together on a project for school or play together to build a fort.

But artels are a little different because they were more common a long time ago in places like Russia. Back then, people didn't have big businesses like we do now, so they had to work together in groups to get things done.

For example, imagine if some people wanted to start a farm. They might form an artel where each person would do a different job. One person might grow the crops, another person might take care of the animals, and another person might sell the produce. They would all work together and share the profits equally.

Artels were a way for people to help each other and get things done in a fair way. They were an important part of many communities and helped people to make a living and support their families.
