Abstract

Introduction. The topic of industrial development of regions in the second half of the 1950s — first half of the 1960s requires additional research, as it was often subjected to political coloring. The aim of the article is to show an objective picture of the development of large-scale industrial production in Mordovia during the period of reforming the management of the national economy of the USSR.

Materials and methods. The study of large-scale industrial production in the MASSR in the designated period involves the identification of the main directions of state policy in the industrial sector of the national economy and the analysis of existing statistical data characterizing the dynamics of industrial production.

Results and discussion. Despite certain shortcomings of the management reform and the fact that the impressive growth rates of the republic’s industry in the period under consideration are largely explained by the effect of a low base, the fact of an outstanding industrial breakthrough, which the MASSR realized in these years thanks to a well-built system of state planning and management, selfless labor of people, is not disputable. Machine-building, metalworking and electrical industries became the leading branches. A strong economic basis was created in Mordovia, as a foundation for future development.

Conclusion. As a result of the study it was found that the large industry of the ASSR in the second half of the 1950s — first half of the 1960s developed rapidly, machine-building industries became predominant, production funds and technical equipment of production grew. The creation of National economic council made it possible to better organize the work of enterprises, but at the same time the connection with the central branch ministries was lost.

Keywords: industrial production, National economic council, machine building, metalworking, electrical industry, Mordovian ASSR, sixth five-year, seven-year period
