Industrial development of the Kursk region in 1934–1950 in Russian historiography 1950s – 2000s

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the degree of elaboration of the problems of the state and functioning of the industry of the Kursk region in 1934–1950 in Russian historical science. As a bibliography, both Soviet and modern Russian historical literature is analyzed, in full or in part devoted to the industry of the Kursk region of the period 1934–1950. The article analyzes scientific works published both at the national and regional levels. The analysis of domestic historiography devoted to understanding the history of the industry of the Kursk region in 1934–1950, allows us to conclude that the detail of sugar factories, up to June 1941, has been sufficiently well studied. The process of restoring industrial enterprises of union and republican subordination in 1943–1945 is studied in detail. However, there are some gaps in this area of knowledge. In particular, the functioning of food (with the exception of sugar) and non-food (with the exception of chemical) industries in the Kursk region in 1934–1941 remains practically unexplored. Due attention is not paid to the recovery process at the enterprises of the food and non-food (with the exception of the chemical) industry in the region of Union and Republican subordination in the period from 1946 to 1950. The activity of reviving industrial enterprises of regional and district subordination in 1943–1950 has not been studied at all.
