To succeed in the modern world, a person needs to have time to solve various issues at once on several fronts. And in order to do this as efficiently and timely as possible, abbreviations and abbreviations are used more and more in oral and written speech.
Let's look at a way to decrypt one of them. It's about the WRC. This word, some 20-30 years ago, was associated in most with just one concept. However, to date, there are several more ways to interpret this abbreviation.
The revolutionary significance of the WRC
For our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers (who lived in the USSR), the WRC is an abbreviation for the name of the battle groups of the party organizations of the Bolsheviks. They were called military revolutionary committees and specialized in the preparation of rebellions.
The first VRK was organized in St. Petersburg in August 1917. Paradoxically, the goal of its creation was not to prepare an uprising at all, but, on the contrary, to defend the capital of a decaying empire from the troops of General Kornilov. This commander sought to restore order in Russia with the help of a military dictatorship and remove the Bolsheviks from power. However, his plans were not destined to materialize.
In October of the same year (after the suppression of the Kornilov rebellion), a threat again loomed over Petersburg in the person of German troops. In order to prepare the city for defense on October 16, a resolution was adopted in the executive committee of the Petrograd Soviet on the formation of the first military revolutionary committee.
Initially, the members of the PvRK really worked to strengthen the defense capabilities of St. Petersburg. However, very quickly they began to use the power they gained to achieve their own goals. And 10 days after the creation of the forces of the All-Russian Revolutionary Party, they seized the city and deposed the Provisional Government.
After the capital of Russia was in the hands of the Bolsheviks, they began to send their commissars, emissaries and campaign workers to other major cities of the country to organize local military revolutionary committees. It was their close-knit, thoughtful, and most importantly, quick work that made it possible to seize power in most of the empire in a fairly short time.
In total, there were about 40 WRCs. In addition to their immediate task, they also played the role of temporary emergency organs of proletarian power on the ground. In the future (when the work of the administrative apparatus of the Bolsheviks began to improve), such organizations were abolished, which happened in the spring of next year.
It is interesting that, by modern standards, the classic military-industrial complex is a terrorist organization that aims to seize power in the country.
Subsidiaries of Russian Railways
In modern Russia, the abbreviation being studied has a slightly different meaning, and it is associated with the railway sphere.
As you know, its activities in the Russian Federation until 2003 were supervised by the Ministry of Railways. However, from October 1, 2003, these functions were transferred to the Russian Railways Open Joint Stock Company.
However, over several years of operation of this AO, it turned out that it is not capable of independently effectively solving absolutely all the problems that arise. Therefore, in 2011, the Structural Reform Program for Rail Transport was created.
In accordance with it, 3 subsidiaries of Russian Railways were organized: VRK-1, 2 and 3. This was done in order to entrust them with control over the segments of Russian Railways that are in the market sphere. In the future, it was planned to sell part of the shares of these companies, which ensured the influx of investments in this area.

The central office of JSC "VRK" is located in Yekaterinburg. In addition, there are branches in other cities - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Kemerovo and Kurgan.
This organization appeared in the first half of the nineties. It was during that period that the widespread transformation of municipal and state enterprises into joint-stock companies, which were supposed to keep a register of their shareholders, began in the Russian Federation. Moreover, they could perform this function both independently and entrusting it to a selected specialized organization.
In 1994, on the basis of the investment company TEXI-STOCK LLC, AOKT VRK was opened, which assumed the function of maintaining the aforementioned registers.
His work was so effective that the organization quickly took a leading role in the Ural region.
