By the beginning of the 20th century, almost all the opposing sides had already been united by a multitude of diverse and complex ties, from mutual penetration of capital to technological processes. World War I was the first total clash of countries with interdependent economies. “It's time to end the pose of sentimental respect for the law” As for the same German business and capital in Russia, he suffered less from the struggle against his own domination, and almost to the very end, by the way, continued to work for the needs of the Russian army. By the way, it was then that the tsarist authorities “rolled in” in practice many methods adopted later by the Bolsheviks, including mass deportations and the taking of hostages. For this purpose, special committees were created, decrees and laws were issued, but, as always, everything turned into profanation - changing signboards and punishing the most harmless and, surprisingly, devoted to her own peasant citizens from Russia. They started with German signs and names, including the capital, then moved on to “enemy” subjects and potential traitors of suspicious origin, and when the war dragged on, they took up business and capital. As the royal authorities eradicated the dominance of German capital in the peasant lands and city signsįrom the first days of the Great War and until its collapse, the authorities of the Russian Empire waged a hard and exhausting struggle in the rear - against the “German domination” in all its manifestations.
