Russian statistics on industry are discussed in this paper. Russia attained
impressive economic development in the century from the emancipation of Russian
serfs to around 1960, although growth was interrupted by the October Revolution,
the Civil War, and World War II. The mainspring of Russia’s advancement was
industrial growth. The mainly agrarian economy, in which the rural population
accounted for about 80% of the total at the end of the 19th century, underwent
a complete change in economic structure. This Russian success, however, came to
an end at the end of the 1950s and beginning of the 1960s. The mining and
manufacturing industries, which until then had led the economy, lost vigor, and
the industrial economy as a whole withered. This deterioration led to the
collapse of the Soviet Union by the end of the 20th century and the start of
systemic transformation to capitalism. In this paper we look back at the
history of Russia from the viewpoint of industrial statistics. In the first
section, we adopt a general view of industrial statistics in Russia under the
Tsarist regime. Some estimates of production indices for the industry of the
Russian Empire are presented and compared. Then in the second section,
production, labor, and capital statistics for Russian industry in the Soviet
era are discussed, followed by the third section, in which changes in
industrial statistics for Russia’s new era are summarized."
