On Some Aspects of the Activities of the Ussr State Arbitration in 1932–1938

The formation of the system of State arbitration bodies in the USSR took place during a difficult historical period. Having been established in 1931, it faced a whole range of economic, social and cultural problems caused by the consequences of the revolutionary events, the Civil War and the First World War.
In such circumstances, the need to effectively and in the shortest possible time solve the tasks of resolving economic disputes between subjects of the planned economy was the reason for granting State Arbitration a wide range of powers and functions characteristic of both judicial bodies and administrative management bodies.
The uniqueness of this institution lies in this symbiosis of the multidirectional functions of State Arbitration. It allowed this body to effectively resolve disputes between subjects of economic relations, as well as legal support for their activities.
For a long time, the country's leadership tried to develop tools, create mechanisms and establish state bodies that could exercise the powers subsequently assigned to the bodies of State Arbitration of the USSR. Its creation, in our opinion, was a natural result of government efforts aimed at creating an institution that meets the existing historical challenges, within which it was supposed to contribute to the economic development of the country.
Based on a wide range of historical literature and archival sources, through the use of narrative, historical-comparative, chronological and statistical methods of historical research, the analysis of the socio-economic reasons for the creation and features of the activities of the USSR State Arbitration is carried out.
Much attention is paid to the study of socio-economic processes taking place in the Soviet Union during the period under review.
The article focuses on establishing the fact that the formation of a system of state arbitration bodies has become a natural result of the search for mechanisms and methods to ensure the effective functioning of a planned economy in the conditions of existing social, economic and cultural difficulties in the historical period under consideration. The author concludes that the state arbitration of the USSR has become a body that meets the historical challenges of the period under study and significantly contributed to the growth of the country's economic potential.
The scientific novelty of the research is due to the introduction into scientific circulation of a number of sources that were not previously used during the study of the stated topic, as well as the historiographical analysis of the published literature carried out for the first time.
