| Summary: | In the article has been attempted to consider the position of the Russian Supply
Committee in America, the problems and the state of its structural units during the
significant 1917 year of last active cooperation with the Allied powers in military
procurement during the First World War. As the Russian Supply Committee is
currently presented fragmentally in the scientific historical literature, the author
has identified the following purpose of this article — to reduce and expand the
available material on the activities of the Russian Supply Committee into a unified
picture, paying special attention to the perception of its activities in the American
press, the problem of transportation, the issue of the introduction of liquidation
policy in relation to purchase order, efforts to purchase transport property. The
article is written on the basis of unpublished sources (materials of the office work
of the Russian Supply Committee, correspondence of General N. M. Khrabrov with
the Main Directorate for Foreign Supply and the authorized Ambassador from
the Russian government B. A. Bakhmetyev, orders and instructions of the Main
Directorate for Foreign Supply, materials of the Special Investigative Commission)
identified in the funds of the Russian State Historical Archive. As a result, the author
concluded that in the conditions of political instability and stagnant organizational and structural problems, the Russian Supply Committee could not properly resolve
the issue of purchasing military property on the American market. |
