Lugansk cartridge factory
On October 12, 1892, the Highest Permission was approved by Alexander III - an inactive Lugansk foundry with all movable and immovable property from Gorny to the War Department [6] [7] .
In pursuance of the highest decree on June 4, 1893, Colonel Yegorovich Kabalevsky, artillery colonel [8] [1] [3] [4], was sent to Lugansk as the chairman of the economic construction commission for the construction of the Lugansk cartridge plant .
For a well-to-do relatives living in a beautiful house in St. Petersburg, the departure of the head of the family at first seemed a complete disaster [4] . Meanwhile, both the spouse and their three student children (daughter — a student of the Smolny Institute of noble maidens and two sons — students of a military school) resigned themselves to the will of fate and decided at the family council: to go to Klavdiy Yegorovich on purpose [4] .
The solemn laying of the cartridge factory took place on August 26, 1893 - five years after the closure of the foundry [6] .
The new enterprise was built in two years (a year and eight months [3] from August 2, 1893 to May 6, 1895 [1] ) and was an example of the use of advanced technologies of that time [6] [1] [4] . In particular, the cartridge plant under construction used electricity and telephone communications between workshops for the first time [8] [1] . The main equipment for it was purchased in England [9] from the Greenwood-Betley factory [10] , and only a small part was purchased from the St. Petersburg cartridge factory , also of foreign manufacture [10] .

| Having spent two million rubles generously allocated to us from the state treasury, we built an essentially new plant on the site of the old foundry, installed more than four hundred of the latest machine tools, boilers, steam engines and dynamos purchased in England, France, Germany, and also produced in many factories of our country. I find it necessary to say that Mother Russia never before in her history had an industrial enterprise with such perfect technological equipment, the first in Russia working on electric traction. |
The Lugansk cartridge plant reached its design capacity in 1900 [9] , breathing new vitality into the village, which later became the city of Lugansk .
