Abstract
This paper focuses on one aspect of the economic history of Ukraine at the end of XIX – the beginning XX century. The stages of entrepreneurial activity of brightest representative of the business world of the South Ukraine Nikolai Fedorovich von Ditmar are namely investigated. The factors which facilitated on the attracting of N. F. von Ditmar to business entourage were should be called the rapid development of industry and support the engineering business by Vitte’s government. It has significantly contributed to an active inflow of technical personnel into branch of trade and industry. Following research methods were used to achieve the scientific purpose. Among them: 1) historical­genetic method (it makes it possible to analyze the evolution of N. F. von Ditmar business); 2) historical­comparative method allows you to draw parallels between Ditmar’s plant and other industrial enterprises of Kharkov province; 3) prosopography method helps to explore the socio­economic history of Ukraine through the prism of von Ditmar’ business. During research process, we identified three stages of von Ditmar’s private enterprise such as I (1893–1904), II (1904–1914), III (1914–1917). The first period of Ditmar’s business is characterized by foundation in Kharkov small technical company, which was closely connected with his scientific and practical activity in geology. The specialization of Ditmar’s company was associated with the geological fieldwork and water supply. For example, technical office engaged in drilling wells of railway stations and cities. At the same time, the mechanical workshop produced tool for these works. The achievement of a mining engineer in this period was the use of mechanical equipment instead of manual. In the second stage of von Ditmar’s business there were organizational transformation, which resulted in the creation of the “Kharkov N. F. von Ditmar’s Metal Plant”. At this time, the company took the modernization of production, moreover the latest equipment was established. It made it possible to expand the range of products. The company has become well known for the production of agricultural machinery such as the reaper­binder system of N. P. Dzhunkovsky and plows “Cock”. The new products have been very requested and quickly became popular in the Ukrainian market and abroad. It contributed to gradual replacement of foreign technology from the Ukrainian market. The third phase of Ditmar’s private enterprise has become a real success for him in this activity. At this time, Nikolai Fedorovich reorganized the previous company and created on its basis new large machine­building plant. At his plant Nikolai Fedorovich had carried out the practical implementation of the insurance legislation. During World War I von Ditmar’s plant served urgent military orders, began production of unique Wolf mine lamps. As a result Nikolai Fedorovich achieved the greatest success in business career, has become a recognized and respected entrepreneur, took a leading position among commercial and industrial elites of the South of Ukraine.
