Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to an insufϐiciently-studied story of the history of World War I, speciϐically the activities of Russian arms smuggling on the Danube River in 1914–1915. Not only were weapons and ammunition necessary for the armies of the Triple Alliance delivered to the Serbian river ports on the Danube, but these ports were also used for Russian military interests, namely for the transport of modern equipment from the Entente countries to the Russian Army, because such equipment was not produced by the Russian industry or was produced in insufϐicient quantities.
