Abstract
Based on the study of currently declassified archival documents, the problem of the evolution of state policy in the field of computer technology development in the 1960s is investigated. The conclusion is formulated that at the turn of the 1950s and 60s, largely due to the insistence of well-known scientists, diplomats, representatives of industry and the military- industrial complex (MIC), the country's leadership adopted resolutions promoting the activation of development and production in this area. However, departmental disagreements; the inability of the country's leadership to realize the main trends of world development, ignoring the recommendations of specialists; the flaws of the planned system, in which enterprises were not interested in innovations; insufficient allocations; unwillingness to study and use foreign and domestic experience of state innovation policy caused an increasing backlog and, in the end, a decision on the expediency of copying foreign outdated sample.
