In the process of evacuation, during the change of the points of goods delivery, the movement in the most difficult conditions of 1941, the loss of accompanying forms by virtue of a number of reasons, and at the same time the rapid deployment of evacuated enterprises and institutions in the rear it was necessary to organize the receipt and use of the undocumented goods. The evacuation of population was accompanied by sending luggage with personal home property as it was designated in the documents. At the same time the luggage was not always arrived at the destination or citizens were placed in the planned place of evacuation. Originally all these problems were regulated by the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 1869-84 from July 15, 1941 "On the points of discharge of the astrayevacuated cargo from the immediate battle area". After that evacuation bases were founded in a number of large rear cities. Their activity was regulated by the Decrees of the USSR CPC, the orders of the USSR SPC, the Council for the evacuation of the USSR. The Molotov base of the astray-evacuated cargo was formed on July 21, 1941 as a part of the regional executive committee and continued its activity until August 20, 1943. The base realized a receipt, segregation, assessment and storage of evacuated cargo from the immediate battle area which did not have a certain recipient or accompanying forms. The base carried out the distribution, implementation and vacation of property and goods to enterprises in the territory of Molotov region, carried out storage, search for the owners and sending the property to the citizens. The main sources for studying the work of the Evacobase were the documents of the R-353 Foundation "Molotov Base of Astray-Evacuated Cargo under the Executive Committee of the Molotov Regional Council of Deputies of Workers, Molotov" (State Archive of the Perm Territory).
