Abstract
The aim of the research is the study of the process of organizing financial and economic control and management of activities of salt factories in the captured territories of Halychyna and Bukovyna by the Russian occupation authorities during the First World War. The methodological basis for the scientific study is a complex of general scientific and special methods. Special historical methods peculiar to the field of social and economic history were widely used: diachronic (periodization) method, historical, comparative and retrospective methods, historical and typological, historical and systematic, historical and genetic methods, historical and economic analysis and economic methods. The scientific novelty of the study is the disclosure of the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the analysis of the financial and economic policy of the Russian occupation regime in Halychyna and Bukovyna during the First World War. The study has been carried out due to the absence of special works on this topic in the historiography. Conclusions. The economic policy of the Russian authority in the occupied territories of Halychyna and Bukovyna was aimed at maximizing the use of natural resources, manpower and industrial capacities. The arrangement of work of industrial enterprises in the captured region, in particular salt factories, was aimed at providing the Russian army with a vitally necessary product of first necessity which was salt. It was established that the state-owned salt factories transfer their profits to the Russian state treasury. It has been proved that the financial and economic activity of the Russian Empire (Russia) in the occupied Halychyna and Bukovyna showed the striking difference between the declared «liberation» slogans and the real policy that was clearly aggressive.
