- Abstract
- On the basis of archival documents, for the first time, the history of the translation of hour hands in Russia during the First World War and during the period of accelerated industrialization of the 1930s, practically unexplored in historical chronology, is analyzed. The question is raised about the correct understanding of the goals and objectives of these processes. The history of switching the turnouts in 1917 is analyzed in detail. It is shown that the purpose of introducing "daylight saving time" in 1930 was not at all energy savings, as is usually reported in publications on this topic, but to reduce the load on power plant generators in conditions of their total deficit. When this deficit was overcome, the daylight saving time ceased to be necessary, however, it is traditionally preserved at all stages of Russian history.
