organization of metallurgical production, and first of all in the Urals.
In the development of the mining industry in the first quarter of the XVIII century. a special place is occupied by the decree of Peter I of December 10, 1719 on the establishment of the Berg-Collegium for the management of mining enterprises and on mining freedom.
Thus, in the Petrine era, the Russian economy made a giant leap. Metallurgy developed especially rapidly. By the middle of the XVIII century. Russia smelted iron one and a half times more than England, and took the leading place in the production of metal. The development of metallurgy in new areas and brought Russia to one of the first places in the world in this industry.
As a result of the measures taken by the government, Russias dependence on imports either significantly decreased or stopped altogether. Moreover, Russia began to export abroad iron, which was highly valued there. Russias economic independence and an active foreign trade balance were achieved.
The demographic and industrial conditions of the region complicated the construction of mining plants here, and were one of the reasons for the stagnation and closure of state-owned enterprises in 1703-1716.
But after 1720, a rapid industrial boom began in the Urals. By 1725. Ural, has become one of the leaders in the production of iron.
1716-1724 became a turning point in the history of the Ural metallurgy.
Before Peter, the mines were managed by various institutions. So, foreign masters obeyed the Embassy order, the factories themselves were in charge of the Pushkar Order, the Order of the Big Treasury, the Cannon Yard and the Armory. Finally, the local authorities — the voivodes-had enormous rights over the mines and factories.
