Brown Bear is the brand name of the Barnaul Machine Plant, amajor ammunition factory in Barnaul, Russia. The company dates back to the eraof the czars. Founded in St. Petersburg in 1869, it moved to Moscow afterRussia’s exit from World War I and was evacuated to Barnaul as the Nazisapproached Moscow during World War II. A month after the move, the plant madeits first shipment to the Soviet military. By the end of the war, 50% of thecartridges used by Soviet soldiers were Barnaul-made, a significantcontribution to the Allied victory against the Nazis. Today, the Barnaul plantcontinues to produce ammunition, particularly shotgun and rifle cartridges.
