On the state and tasks of the further development of industry in the region. August 18, 1922
South Ossetia has always been a country of agriculture. There was no industry. There are no factories or plants. The Menshevik pogrom in 1920 destroyed the economic life of South Ossetia to the foundation. The ruin is complete. The economic authorities of South Ossetia are faced with the task of restoring a devastated economy.
In particular, the Soviet of National Economy of South Ossetia is faced with the task of: 1) rebuilding primarily the destroyed public buildings, 2) promote industry. <...> Chairman of the Soviet of National Economy Z.N. Vaneev
