PERSONNEL OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF THE VOLGA REGION IN THE POST–WAR PERIOD OF 1945–1955. (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE ULYANOVSK REGION)

Abstract

Justification. The post–war period is the period of restoration of the national economy of the USSR, destroyed by the war. Most industries during the war were transferred to the production of military products. After the Great Patriotic War, the industry was transferred to the production of civilian products. Consumer goods, especially textile products that were not produced during the war years, have become particularly popular. For the rapid post-war recovery of the textile industry, it was necessary to establish an effective personnel policy. The article analyzes the personnel, numerical, gender and age composition in the textile industry of the Ulyanovsk region in 1945-1955. The main personnel problems in the industry and ways to solve them are identified. The purpose of the study is to study the personnel in the textile industry of the Volga region in the post–war period. Materials and methods. The materials for the study were archival sources, periodicals of the Volga region, works of regional historians. Historical-typological and historical-comparative methods were used in the analysis of sources. The results of the work. By 1955, the main personnel problems in the textile industry of the Volga region were identified, and ways to solve them were outlined. The article reveals the effectiveness of the measures taken to solve personnel problems. The ongoing personnel policy in the Ulyanovsk textile industry has led to an increase in the number of employees at textile enterprises, effective training and advanced training of textile workers. The data obtained allow us to draw conclusions about the personnel situation in the Ulyanovsk textile industry during the period under review. The characteristics of the personnel potential of the Ulyanovsk region are given, which allow us to assess the level of development of the textile industry in 1945 – 1955. The scope of the results. The materials obtained in the course of the research can be used by historians studying the light industry of the Volga region, personnel policy at industrial enterprises of the Volga region, as well as in the educational process (in the form of textbooks, lectures) on the history of the Volga region.
