Деятельность органов военного и морского управлений по регулированию военного производства на горных заводах Урала во второй четверти XIX века

Abstract

The activities of the military and naval authorities in organizing military production in the mining industry of the Urals in the second quarter of the 19thcentury have been analyzed in the article. Despite a large number of studies on the history of military management mainly devoted to the period of the reign of Alexander I the organization of the military economy in historiography has not been given sufficient attention. The researchers did not consider the issues of state regulation of the military order at the mining plants of the Urals. The author has made an attempt to analyze the changes in the structure of the economic management of the military and naval departments during the reform of the state apparatus during the reign of Nicholas I, to show their role in organizing the military order at the mining plants of the Urals. The main sources of the research were the legislative and normative acts regulating the organization of the activities of military and naval control bodies, the procedure for manufacturing and accepting military products from mining plants. Also involved are archival materials from the military command and control bodies concentrated in the Federal archives. In the process of analyzing the factual materialhistorical-genetic and problem-chronological research methods were used. As a result the author concludes that the central bodies of military and naval control played the key role in organizing the military order. In particular, the leadership of the artillery department was under the joint jurisdiction of the Artillery Department and the General Feldzheichmeister. The artillery department of the War Ministry was responsible for supplying the army with weapons. It was in charge of determining the volume of the military order monitoring the implementation of military orders and the quality of products through the artillery inspectors located at the mining plants. In the structure of the naval department in the second quarter of the 19th centurythe reorganization took place as well. Due to this reorganization a unified department was created, headed by the Naval Ministry. The mining plants of the Urals supplied shells and metals for the fleet. The author stated that the Artillery Department was responsible for the supply of weapons for the fleet in the structure of the ministry, and the procurement of metals was under the jurisdiction of the Shipbuilding Department
