Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by increasingly acute discussions regarding the effectiveness of the mobilization model of the economy that operated during the Soviet period of national history. The purpose of the publication is to analyze the results of the implementation of the state industrial and scientific-technical policy in the USSR in the 1950s on the basis of currently declassified archival materials. The legitimacy of management decisions is determined, the scale of research works is presented more accurately on the example of the defense and radio engineering industries. The conclusion is formulated that the 1950s can be defined as a separate and quite independent and effective stage in the evolution of the state industrial and scientific and technical policy. This stage was distinguished by the intensification of research activities, by the change of priorities, including technical re-equipment, and by the search for the most effective forms and management structures. Despite the technological lag behind the leading capitalist countries in a number of areas, a genuine scientific and technological revolution was coming. A powerful scientific and technical complex provided with highly qualified personnel was being created.
