Our story of Artelia
In old Russia an artel was a group of workers, carpenters, fishermen or porters, who left their villages together, took jobs as a team and shared the earnings under an elected elder; the word lasted into Soviet times for cooperatives of every kind. Artelia was not built from it; it came from the long, lyrical -elia names of its day. But it shares its sound with a word for people working together.
