The formation of territorial production complexes in Soviet period

The problems connected with the formation of territorial and production complexes (TPC) during the Soviet period were considered. The Ural-Kuznetsk complex which started being created in days of the first Soviet fiveyears periods became one of the very first TPC in the Ural-Siberian region. As a result of these actions in Magnitogorsk and Novokuznetsk two complexes large during this period were constructed, some mines were put into operation and cuts which allowed in days of the Great Patriotic War on the squares to place the industrial enterprises evacuated as a result of military operations from the western regions of the USSR. The transfer of the industrial enterprises and several millions of the population from the West on the East was carried out in the shortest possible time and in huge scales. To the Urals and 1400 large military facilities were moved to Siberia within July - November, 1941 nearly 1600 industrial plants and factories, including, from the Volga area 226 enterprises were placed; in the Urals - more than 700; in Western Siberia - nearly 250; in Eastern Siberia - 75; in Central Asia and Kazakhstan more than 310 industrial enterprises which arrived from the western regions of the USSR were placed. Then creation and formation of territorial and production complexes in post-war years took place. In the 1950-1960s of the Soviet period formation of the West Siberian oil and gas complex, Irkutsk and Cheremkhovo, Bratsk and Ust-Ilimsk, Irkutsk, Sayansk, Norilsk TPC began, and also in Asian parts of the USSR various complexes, for example Kansk and Achinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Southern Yakut TPC and others were created. In the mid-seventies construction of the Baikal-Amur highway began, there formation of powerful territorial and industrial complex was also planned.
