List of the match factories of the Russian Empire


Match production in Russia was started in the end of 1830-s. In the second half of XIX-th century the matches became a household necessity and they were produced almost everywhere.

The state attitude to this necessary but dangerous industry differs with the time. Because of relatively simple production, big number of fires, often changes of the legislation, local competition and other reasons, the number of the match factories changed every year. Some shops were registered only at gubernias and uezd levels.

To see the full picture of match production in Russia is not so easy. This work is not quite full and not always correct.

The autor of the compilation and the site autor hope for the help of other phillumenists and historians in correcting presented list.

The lists by regions are given in Russian, as transliteration will only worsen the list quality.
