All data below is compiled from a lot of online and offline sources.
Some numbers are approximations and are denoted as such. Note the
numbers provided are not for bauxite, but for pure aluminium and for
alumina. Bauxite amount can be calculated using coefficients 3 for
alumina and 6 for aluminium. All numbers are in thousands of metric
tons.

-   1940\. Uralsky Aluminievy Zavod (UAZ): 12.3 to 13.3 aluminium, 31.2
    alumina. It\'s aluminium production was about 45% of whole country
    production, so Tikhvinsky and Dneprovsky plants have produced
    approx. 15 to 16 aluminium. So far I have not found data for
    alumina.
-   1941\. UAZ - 31.1 aluminium, no data for alumina. Other two plants
    are evacuated. No data for their production in the first half of the
    year.
-   1942\. From this year on, UAZ (Sverdlovskaya oblast) is the only
    factory in USSR producing aluminium. 51.7 aluminium, approx. 120
    alumina.
-   1943\. 57.9 aluminium.
-   1944\. 72.4 aluminium, 111% alumina compared to 1943. Unfortunately,
    no data for 1943. :-)
-   1945\. 71.5 aluminium (less amount, but of higher quality), in this
    year some other plants have started producing aluminium.
