East Siberian Krai

East Siberian Krai (Russian: Восточно-Сибирский край) is an administrative-territorial unit in the RSFSR, which existed from July 30, 1930, to December 5, 1936.

[2] In 1931 the East Siberian region consisted of 95 districts, 1,890 village councils, 18 cities and 15 workers' settlements.

[3] In March 1934, a decision was made to create the Chita Oblast as part of the East Siberian Krai.

In the same year, construction began on enterprises for the extraction and processing of polymetallic ores in the Norilsk area.

In the early 1930s, collectivization led to a decrease in the volume of agricultural production, especially noticeable in livestock farming.

The number of horses in the East Siberian region in 1933 decreased by 49% compared to 1929, cattle - by 56%, sheep and goats - by 71%, pigs - by 61%.
