Meanwhile, the first light industry enterprises appeared in Russia as early as the 17th century; manufactures (cloth and linen factories, etc.) were established in the 18th century: They were given state support and fulfilled predominantly public orders. The textile industry was among the first ones to use waged labor, making a transition to large industrial production. As a result, the light industry occupied a significant place in the structure of the Russian economy and promoted its industrialization.
