A report on Soviet light industry written after successful industrialization had led to the establishment of an expanded chain of new modernized factories and production plants across the USSR.
Since the 1920s areas of Central Asia were turned into the “cotton granary” of the Soviet Union, providing raw materials for light industry concentrated mainly in the European part of the RSFSR. In the 1930s the textile, shoe and leather industries developed at a rapid pace.
