In the Vyatka Governorate, despite its relative remoteness from the theater of military operations, a patriotic upsurge among the population similar to that seen across Russia could be observed. The governorate itself became a place of social assistance for participants in the hostilities and their families. Social mobilization was present in all public institutions of the governorate; this trend was accompanied by intensified interaction between the authorities and society.
In connection with the increased need to support socially vulnerable segments of the population, new societies were established. Thus, on August 17, 1914, in Vyatka, the Society for Aid to the Families of Reservists and Militiamen was opened. Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna thanked the Vyatka governor for the fact that, thanks to his efforts, the society “received into its fund 12,000 rubles and about 2,000 rubles in guaranteed monthly receipts.” On the very day of its opening, the Society for Aid to the Families of Reservists and Militiamen received more than 4,000 rubles in donations. The society included over 400 members. In addition to financial assistance to the families of servicemen, the society made it possible to support 100 children in a shelter and donated 2,000 rubles to the committee for temporary aid to those affected by military actions.
