Institute of proportionality in timber industry of Karelia in middle of 1960s

The article is devoted to the study of one of the basic institutions of Karelian forest industry in the middle of the 1960s - the institute of proportionality. The selected period was an important time strech in the development of timber industry complex of Karelia because at that time the pace of industry development, achieved in 1940-1950s, began to decline, and Karelian forest industry entered its inertial phase of development. The crisis of the basic timber industry institutions, which began to mature in the middle of the 1960s, caused formation of the problems too challenging for the regional timber industry to cope with. One of the most important factors contributing to the effectiveness of redistributive economy, the type of which can be attributed to the Soviet economy, was the institution of proportionality. In terms of common ownership, economy can exist only as a proportional economy, especially when it comes to a complex where wood has to be restored and preserved. The dysfunction of the institute of proportionality became one of the main factors promoting inefficient development of timber industry in the period under review and in the future.
