Thank you for your reply. By mothballed, you mean these factories sat largely unused for decades? In North America, former factories tend to become repurposed into lofts or office space. Do you know what why this didn’t this happen in Russia? Was it foresight or a lack of demand?
These factories are not in places were anyone would want to have a loft or their office.
I’m sure this happened in more desirable areas, but around the Ural mountains it propably did less so.

It’s cause the industry is state owned, and the state realized the value of it.
