the book, Plan of Electrification .

The reports by Krzhizhanovsky and Ramzin in
Petrograd.—Kushner’s pamphlet.—Other pamphlets on electrification—the publication by the Vladimir Gubernia
Executive Committee on electrification and other local publications .

2) The new literature (1915–1921) in German on the
state of electrification in various countries and its tasks,
