First Wartime Plan
On June 30, 1941, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR approved the first wartime plan — the mobilization national economic plan for the third quarter of 1941. It envisaged an increase in military production by 26% compared to the quarterly plan of peacetime. Among the priority over-plan constructions for 1941 was the construction of the Tokmak Automobile Repair Plant of the People's Commissariat of Motor Transport of the Kyrgyz SSR and the completion of the repair and mechanical plant of the People's Commissariat of the Republic. However, the unfavorable development of military actions, the enemy's occupation of several vital areas of the Soviet country, and the urgent needs of the front for armaments, ammunition, and military equipment required further measures for the accelerated development of the military-industrial potential of the rear republics of the Soviet Union.
On August 16, 1941, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) approved the military-economic plan for the IV quarter of 1941 and for 1942 for the regions of the Volga, Ural, Western Siberia, and the Kazakh, Uzbek, Turkmen, Tajik, and Kyrgyz SSRs.
This was an extensive program that defined the main directions for restructuring the entire national economy for military needs, creating new economic bases in the East, and further developing the production of armaments, ammunition, and military equipment.
It provided for the accelerated development of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, coal and oil industries, machine engineering and energy, and an increase in the production of chemical, light, textile, and food industry products.
A crucial part of the program was the relocation of industrial enterprises and transport vehicles, livestock, property of collective farms, machine and tractor stations, state farms, and the evacuation of millions of Soviet citizens from the war zone to the deep rear.
To meet the needs of the front, the national economy of Kyrgyzstan began to be converted to military rails.
The nomenclature and range of products produced by industrial enterprises were revised, and the production of many consumer goods was halted. The plan for the production of military uniforms, equipment, and food — canned goods, crackers, and cereals — was increased. Efforts by party, Soviet, economic, and financial bodies of the republic were directed towards the redistribution of the state budget, labor force, raw materials, and food resources in the interests of ensuring military production.
