Answer 2

Answer:

• He encouraged the funding of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
• He established a network of government-run savings banks.
• He put Russia’s currency, the ruble, on the gold standard

Explanation:

Witte was neither a liberal or a conservative. He pulled in foreign funding to help Russia's industrialization. Witte served under the last two rulers of Russia, Alexander III and Nicholas II.

During the Russo-Turkish War  he had ascended to a situation in which he controlled all the traffic going to the front along the lines of the Odessa Railways.

As Minister of Finance Witte directed broad industrialization and the administration of different railroad lines. He confined the October Manifesto of 1905, and the going with government correspondence, yet was not persuaded it would take care of Russia's concern with the Tsarist dictatorship.
