On the economy of the Ulyanovsk Region during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945

The article is devoted to the development of Ulyanovsk region economy during the Great Patriotic War in 1941-1945. At this time, many plants were moved here. As a consequence, the region was gradually reaching a higher quality level of economic development than in the pre-war period. The evacuation of a significant number of industrial enterprises with large human resources and the creation of army units led to a deterioration in the management system of the Kuibyshev region. As a result, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of January, 1943 was formed Ulyanovsk region, consisting of 26 districts.
