User:Underlying lk/Evacuation in the Russian Empire during World War I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During World War I, several enterprises in the Russian Empire were relocated from areas near the western front to the country's interior.[1] Most of the evacuated freight reached Moscow, the center of Russian rail network.[1] Around 650 enterprises were relocated from Poland and the Baltic provinces, including Russo-Baltic.[2] The city of Riga, then an important manufacturing center, was heavily affected by the evacuation process.[3] The relocation of workers from the provinces to Petrograd contributed to the spread of the Russian Revolution.[3] Other evacuated factories included Kauchuk Works and Provodnik Works, both from Riga.[4]
