On the Russian mining industry in the tears of the First World War
Abstract
The question of the role of the main branches of the mining industry and the closely related ferrous metallurgy in the First World War is of undoubted interest. Meanwhile, in the mining‑economic literature, this period has been covered less than others. The objective of this article is to show the real role of the main branches of the mining industry in the military economy of pre-revolutionary Russia. It examines – to the extent that the size of the article allows – the question of the development of the mining industry before the First World War, then during the war itself, the role of monopolies and foreign capital, military‑industrial committees, the material situation of miners. Of course, these questions can be correctly illuminated only if they are taken not in isolation, but in the closest connection with the general economic state of Russia, with the socio‑political situation, in a word, with the entire set of conditions for the historical development of the country.
