1888 CE to 1899 CE
Russia's industrial regions include Moscow, the central regions of the country, St. Petersburg, the Baltic cities, Russian Poland, some areas along the lower Don and Dnieper rivers, and the Ural Mountains.
By 1890 Russia has about thirty-two thousand kilometers of railroads and one point four million factory workers, the majority of them in the textile industry.
Between 1860 and 1890, coal production has grown about twelve hundred percent to over six point six million tons, and iron and steel production has more than doubled to two million tons.
The state budget, however, has more than doubled, and debt expenditures have quadrupled, constituting twenty-eight percent of official expenditures in 1891.
Foreign trade is inadequate to meet the empire's needs, and surpluses sufficient to cover the debts incurred to finance trade with the West had not been realized until high industrial tariffs were introduced in the 1880s.
