As a result of the titanic efforts of the Communist Party and the selfless labor of the working class in the spring, summer, and autumn of 1942, the military-industrial potential of Kyrgyzstan continued to grow steadily. The gross output of all industries by the end of 1942 amounted to 296.8 million rubles, which is an increase of 15.3 million rubles compared to 1940. The pace of production of essential goods for the front and defense industry was rapidly increasing. This is evidenced by the following data:
The production of non-ferrous metals in 1942 exceeded the level of 1941: mercury production increased by 8.4 times, and antimony by 1.3 times.
The output of zinc, lead, and gold also increased. Year after year, sulfur production grew: the increased gross output plan in 1941 was fulfilled by 101.2%, and in 1942 by 104%.
Despite equipment downtime due to lack of electricity, the Frunze woolen factory produced 118.3 thousand meters of overcoat cloth in 1942, of which 96-97% was of first-class quality.
The Communist Party and the Soviet government attributed decisive importance to the developed transport and communication systems in strengthening the country's economic potential and defense capability. V. I. Lenin pointed out that without railways, "modern war is a hollow phrase."
