The following is a list of Volochisk business owners from The Entire Southwestern Territory: A Reference and Address Book for Kiev, Volyn, and Podolsk Provinces published in 1913 by M.V. Dovnar-Zapolsky. The 1,158-page tome has detailed descriptions of the industrial and economic activity of the region, in addition to business listings.
The listings below were translated by Volochisk researcher Jeremy Grant. Both Jews and Christians are included, but those who were likely not Jewish have an asterisk by their name. It’s interesting to note that of 233 names listed in the directory, 209 were probably Jewish. However, of the nine doctors in Volochisk, only one was Jewish, while the only dentists listed were two Jewish women. There was also a list of military personal stationed at Volochisk that was not translated — there were no Jewish names among them.
A history on the official Volochysk website (Volochysk is the Ukrainian spelling of the town name), gives more information about what life was like in the town in 1913. “Since the beginning of the twentieth century until the First World War, the industry of Volochysk grew markedly. In 1913, the Volochysk Sugar Plant reached a production of up to 1.5 million rubles a year and employed 650 workers.”
“The brewery of Count L. Ya. Ledokhovsky produced products worth 32,000 rubles a year. The plant employed 8 workers. The brick factory, owned by the landlady NP Oleynikova, produced 18,000 rubles a year and employed 21 people. Along with the expansion of industrial production at existing plants, new industrial enterprises are emerging. In 1913 there was a factory of iron furnaces in Volochysk, owned by the Huns. It produced products worth 18,000 rubles a year. There was also a small soap factory, a tobacco factory, a water mill that processed up to 12,000 pounds of grain a year, and many handicrafts.
“An orphanage, a school, cultural, educational and state institutions were located in the magnificent palaces of Count L. Ledokhovsky, who was shot during the revolution.”
