Two maps, one showing Russian industry in 1913 and the other Russian industry in 1940, thereby comparing Russia's industrial development by way of the Five-Year Plans. The 1913 map shows three scales of industry, seven categories of dominant industries, eight mining and resource industries, thermal energy plants, areas of the greatest penetration of foreign capital and industrial investment, railroads, transport canals, and the borders of the Russian Empire in 1913. The 1940 map, by contrast, shows four scales of industry, seven categories of dominant industries, fifteen mining and resource industries, hydroelectric and thermal energy plants, railroads built before the October Revolution and traditional and electric railroads built after it, maritime routes established between 1932-35, transport canals built before and after the October Revolution, and Soviet borders in 1939 and 1940. Map includes four graphs contrasting growth in stages since 1913 in four main areas: industrial to agricultural employment, Soviet industrialization to that in capitalist countries, Russia's economic base before both World Wars, and exports over imports in several industries. Both maps include legends.
