Latvijā plaši attīstījās arī vieglā rūpniecība. Viens no vislielākajiem tā laika vieglās rūpniecības uzņēmumiem bija gumijas un gumijas izstrādājumu fabrika „Provodniks" Rīgā. Pirmā pasaules kara priekšvakarā šeit strādāja ap 13 000 strādnieku. Tas, starp citu, dod spilgtu priekšstatu par lielo strādnieku koncentraciju, kas raksturīga cara Krievijas rūpniecībai. Vairāk nekā puse Latvijas rūpniecības strādnieku bija nodarbināti lielos uzņēmumos ar 500 un vairāk strādniekiem.

Priekšstatu par rūpniecības proletariata armijas straujo skaitlisko pieaugumu dod diagrama „Strādnieku skaita pieaugums Krievijā un Latvijā 19. gs. beigās un 20. gs. Sākumā".

Monopolistiskais kapitalisms Krievijā savijās ar loti stiprām dzimtbūšanas paliekām ekonomiskajā un politiskajā iekārtā. Galvenās no šīm paliekām bija cara patvaldība un muižnieku zemes īpašums.

 

Light industry also developed widely in Latvia. One of the largest light industry establishments of that time was the rubber and rubber goods factory “Provodniks” in Rīga. On the eve of the First World War, approximately 13,000 workers worked here. That, among other factors, gives testimony to the large concentration of workers characteristic to tsarist Russia’s industry. More than half of Latvia’s factory workers were employed in large enterprises with 500 or more workers.

Testimony of the industrial proletariat army’s steep rise in numbers is illustrated in the diagram “Growth in numbers of workers in Russia and Latvia, end of 19th century and beginning of the 20th.”

Monopolistic capitalism in Russia was intertwined with very strong remnants of serfdom in economic and political institutions. The major of these remants were the tsar’s monarchy and estate-land ownership.
