FORMATION OF POWER ENGINEERING AND ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY IN THE FAR EAST OF THE USSR (1950S – MID-1970S)

Abstract

The article examines the historical aspects of the formation of enterprises of power engineering and electrical indus-try in the Far East in the 1950s – mid 1970s. It was revealed that the limited management reform, the reluctance of the center to co-ordinate decisions with the region, the one-sidedness of the development of industries, did not bring the expected results. The Far Eastern region poorly provided itself with electrical products, which in many types were delivered from other regions of the USSR.
