Abstract
Based on the currently declassified archival documents, the current problem of implementing state policy in the field of development of the oil refining and petrochemical industry in the USSR in the 1960s is being investigated. The analysis of comparative data and expert opinions made it possible to formulate conclusions about the presence of factors that determined the lag in this area from the leading capitalist countries and allied countries. The reasons for the slowdown are: a shortage of modern equipment; insufficient funds allocated and planning miscalculations; lagging in the development of vehicles for the export of petroleum products; a weak level of preparation of raw materials in the fields, etc. The products produced were not of high quality and were not competitive enough. Low prices for oil and petroleum products hindered the development and application of resource-saving technologies. Political motives and forced oil exports to socialist countries were also a factor in the slowdown.
