In the last video we learned that the Russian Empire was engaged in the export of butter to Europe.
Here the question arises, how to take butter in the summer for thousands of kilometers? Shoemakers in bast shoes will tell that in winter they cut ice and put it in basements, barrels or boxes of butter were put in wagons, laid with ice and covered with straw and sawdust, and in such a simple way the butter reached Europe.
Those who say so, I have a small task for them - freeze ice in the refrigerator, buy a few packs of oil, pour sawdust on the bottom of a bucket or pan, put ice in the oil, cover with sawdust, and cover the whole thing with a lid. Up to the pile, wrap everything in felt, if there is. Then take this miracle refrigerator in the trunk for at least 3 days, or better yet a week, and then see what happened.
You will find out how it actually worked towards the end of the video.
We look at the first photo.
This is the White Coal hydro-power plant in the city of Essentuki. One of the oldest small hydro-power plants of the Russian Empire.
The Russian Empire
We look at the second photo. Tsaritsyno Palace before its reconstruction.
You can call this photo "demons had fun".

This is the Tambov HPP. One of the first, and most likely the first in the world, project of 1863.
we have very few really preserved thermal and hydroelectric power plants built on the territory of the Russian Empire before 1917.
we look at 4 photos
Moscow thermal power station, operated until February 1917. A typical design was made in 1891. 27 such power plants were built throughout the country.
in the fifth photo, the Moscow city power plant, which provided electricity to railway stations and depots.
Construction began in 1912, completed in 1915.
on the 6th photo, a typical project of the power plant of the All-Russian Joint Stock company of electric supply.
This is a private organization. The project is typical.
A sample of the project was created in 1881. At least 20 stations of this type have been built.
and here in 7 photos is the original project of the first Samara power plant in 1879. At least 40 such power plants were built in the Volga region.
The eighth photo shows the St. George electric power station in Moscow in 1887. Also a typical widespread project. In total, during the period from 1917 to 1928, when Trotsky left the country, more than 5 thousand objects that were engaged in the country's electricity supply were blown up on the territory of the Russian Empire.

engine room, power plant in Moscow.
we see beautiful, perfectly working equipment. I can notice that some of these machines work to this day.
the eleventh photo shows the tram power station of Moscow in 1879.
the station was the largest of the 14 tram power stations in Moscow in 1885
I emphasize from 14 tram power plants.
we look at 12 photos
of a power plant in the city of Kursk.
a typical project for the supply of electricity to the residential sector of the city.
As you can see, lapotnaya Russia: all houses, even in such
provincial cities as Kursk, were
fully provided with electricity,
they had electric lighting,
electric stoves, and many had
electric heating.
on the thirteenth photo
Krasnoyarsk power plant, quite a decent power plant. she worked well, supplied the city
with electricity.
photo 14
this power plant in the city of Orenburg.
photo of 1901. as we can see, all
cities of the Russian Empire have their
own operating, in good
condition, and in beautiful buildings, power plants.
and here in this photo is a power plant in the same Tsarskoye Selo, until it was blown up on the personal instructions
of Mr. Trotsky. He's Bronstein.
The power plant was never restored.
in the sixteenth photo, we see the Kharkiv
electric power station, built in 1882
. pay attention, many photos
show the poles of power lines
, look at their shape and how they are made.
17 photos
Bibi-Eibate power station, Baku city. a typical project.
83 power plants were built before 1899.
as you can see, in the Russian Empire, electricity
was provided to all states that today
believe that they were colonized
The Russian Empire.
