Description
The most voluminous chapter deals with the establishment of large-scale industry during the tsarist era and the construction of industrial buildings, residences and other buildings necessary for the operation of the manufactory, which today have become an architectural value worth preserving.
We also talk about the living and working conditions of the workers, and the Kreenholm strikes and the awards won as a result of hard work are not left out.
In the chapter “From one war to another”, we discuss the effects of the two world wars on the manufactory and the industry of the Republic of Estonia, which was caught in the middle and was looking for new markets.
This is followed by a chapter on the rebuilding of industry and working life from the ruins of the Soviet era, which ends with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the demise of industry looking for new opportunities in the economic crisis. The book ends with a small look into the future.
More than 180 illustrations help illustrate the story of the cotton manufactory.
