Russian military-industrial policy. 1914-1917. State tasks and private interests

The state of the military industry can serve as an indicator of the level of economic and cultural development of the country. How successful is the Russian empire supplied its army with rifles, guns, ammunition? What caused the failures in this area? To what extent was able to refund the missing allied supplies? The search for answers to these questions is still a research task. It is required to separate exactly established data based by the sources of the facts from the controversial buildings, trace the real fate of large plans and projects, the interaction of state structures and the independent public initiative.

The book is designed for specialists in the field of military and economic history, as well as on all who are interested in the history of the Russian Armed Forces, the reasons for the crisis of the authorities on the eve of 1917
