'In this way the system of measures ad-
opted by the Industrial Party were to have
led about the year 1890 to general economic
crisis and to have formed the basis for con-
siderable discomfort ON the apart of broad
masses of the population with the result that
instructions and strikes would finally para
lyze the economic life of the country. The
! separation of the industrial south from the
centre of the country was to play the main
role in the final accomplishment of the
crisis" Statement on the 31st of October.
1890.
Ramzin also points out what the sahotagers
succeeded in accomplishing in each of these
branches of industry. Ramzin administered
the power industry. He says:
1.-THE creation of crisis in electrical indus
try The general direction Of the work of
the Industrial Party was directed here also
above all towards reducing the tempo of the
power stations It is sufficient to point out
that in the Five-Year Plan of the State
Planning Commission the production of dis
trict power stations was given at from 10 to
IA milliard kilowatt hours, whilst their pro-
duction is now given at 20 nilIard kilowatt
hours. The Industrial Party however, paid
particular attention to the production of
crisis in the electrical supply in the most
important districts, i e. in the Don Basin,
in Moscow, Leningrad the Urals and the
Kusnetz Basin
"(a) Thanks to the systematic delay in
the building of the power stations Shteroy
and Suveyo the Don Basin is still experience
ing power supply crisis and is now feeling
this crisis particularly sharply. The build
ing of the latter. power station was delayed
by the State Planning Commission of the
Soviet Union chiefly through Professor A.
A. AgoreW under the pretext Of the posi-
bihty of meeting the demand for power by
fetching it from Dnieprostroi The building
of the Shterov power station was greatly
delayed for a number Of years owing to the
ordering of irrational equipment Gnsuffi-
eiently strong turbines, a clumsy and extreme
ly complicated system of firing, the use of
irrational furnaces of a French type instead
of the reliable American types, etc. The
dates of delivery did not coincide with the
dates for the fitting of the individual parts
OF the equipment, unsystematic ordering of
equipment abroad, etc.
The Don Basin Is therefore not equipped
with power station and this delays the
naturalization of production, increases the
labor and housing difficulties and represents
a retarding factor for the development of the
Basin as whole.
"(bD For a number of years Leningrad has
been experiencing permanent crisis with
regard to power supply as result of the
insufficient strength of the power station,
the wear and tear of the equipment and its
unreliability, particularly with regard to the
turbo-generators of the old stations. The
exclusion of individual machines from use
frequently caused the necessity of cutting off
consumers. The reason for this crisis is the
delay in the extension of the existing stations
and in the building of the Leningrad station.
SCI The Moscow city power stations on.
20. G.. E. 50 are in similar situation be-
cause the strength of the stations is not ca
pable of satisfying the demand. The result is
large and irrational expenditure must be per-
mitted for the building of small stations. This
situation came about as the result of the de-
lay in extending and undermining the works
in Kashira and the delay in building the
works in Bobrikov. For the works in Kashh,a
"Resolutor" dynamos were ordered which
could not operate on the flinty coal of the
Moscow Basin and which demand pause
for repairs about every $50 to 200 working
hours. Further, irrational furnaces were
built here
