Annotation: The article examines the actions of local authorities of Kostroma and Yaroslavl provinces during the World War I in the context of solving the food issue. Attention is focused on the work of the tsarist and revolutionary authorities. The paper traces both the first actions to combat speculation and decisions that contradict state policy in the context of the coming revolution and the supply crisis. The article deals with the contradictions of the bread market that arose during the World War I. The fixed prices set for food often caused dissatisfaction of producers in the grain-producing provinces. The paper draws a conclusion about the causes of the food crisis in the consuming provinces and the degree of effectiveness of solving this problem by local authorities.
