Economic Crisis Forecast in Petrograd Front Congress
The food minister M Pieschechonoff warned officers that Russia faces a grave economic crisis. Wheat supplies fluctuated from March to April, with army needs of 18 million poods weekly and shipments far below that. Grain monopoly attempts may fail due to peasant barter for materials and iron.
