https://doi.org/10.69571/SSPU.2024.93.6.009
Abstract
Based on currently declassified archival documents, the problem of the existence of various approaches to the development of the West Siberian oil and gas province is being investigated. It is proved that in reality there were several options for the development of Western Siberia, and in the conditions of the complicated economic situation in the USSR in the early 1960s, the central party and state bodies urgently needed to determine priorities. The conclusion is formulated that, in many ways, the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of supporters of the accelerated pace of creating a powerful oil and gas complex in this region predetermined the choice of strategy. The studied published and archival documents indicate not only the special attention that the authorities began to pay to the oil-producing industries during this period, but also allow us to determine the mechanisms for implementing large-scale projects, the factors that influenced the choice of course, to consider the positive and negative consequences.
