"We need to turn to any experience. Then it was a very difficult time, there was the Great Patriotic War, so, of course, this is an invaluable experience," Peskov said.

As specified, Medvedev read out a telegram of 1941 about what would happen to the leadership of one of the Soviet factories if it violated the debt to the Motherland for the production of military products.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin during an expanded meeting of the board of the Prosecutor General's Office called for rational spending on the state defense order and defense industry enterprises.

In early March, the president also signed a decree according to which Russian companies that disrupt the deadlines for the state defense order will be subject to external management in the event of a declaration of martial law.
