You can even see the steam ships that replaced the slave in the background.

They were not the slaves, but unionized workers:

AFAIU an артель artelʼ usually did not engage in collective bargaining as such, so calling it a union is not really accurate; you might compare it to a guild but I think there’s no implicaton of a monopoly on a particular trade either. The most accurate description I can think of is perhaps a cooperative combined with a mutual insurance fund.

Agree, I might've stretched It a bit. Your descriptions is more accurate.

Fun fact - this was painted about 8 to 10 years after the abolition of serfdom in the Russian Empire. Coincidentally, it happened two years prior to the US Emancipation Proclamation. I've wondered from time to time how linked the two events were, if at all.
