Der vorliegende Beitrag thematisiert die frühe Phase des Erdölgebrauchs (1880-1914), als die bahnbrechenden Erfahrungen der russländischen Ingenieure die Nutzung von Erdölrückständen (vor allem im Eisenbahnkontext) ermöglichten. Anhand zahlreicher unveröffentlichter Materialien aus zentralen und regionalen Archiven der Russländischen Föderation sowie der veröffentlichten Fachbücher zur Erdölgewinnung und -nutzung und der Publikationen in den zeitgenössischen Fachmedien wird erörtert, dass die Innovationen der Erdölindustrie einen frugalen Charakter hatten und dadurch eine breite Kundenbasis ansprachen. So führten sie eine rasche Transition zum Erdöl als Hauptenergiequelle im europäischen Teil Russlands (vor allem in Transkaspien, im Wolgagebiet, in St. Petersburg und in Moskau) herbei. (During the early phases of modern petroleum use from around 1880 to 1914, pathbreaking inventions by Russian engineers made it possible to exploit oil for rail transport. Based on numerous unpublished documents from the central and regional archives of the Russian Federation, books published in Russia on the production and use of petroleum, and other contemporary Russian scientific media, this article demonstrates that most innovations in the Russian oil industry around that time were aimed at saving resources and minimizing costs. This made oil more attractive to customers and encouraged the European parts of Russia, particularly Transcaspia and the Volga Region as well as St. Petersburg and Moscow, to make the transition to oil as the main source of energy more swiftly than was the case in most other parts of the world. )
