Problems of art engraving production in Zlatoust plant in the early post-war years (1945-1950)

The operation of Zlatoust Plant producing metal engraving products in the hard years of re-construction period 1945-1950s remains poorly studied. “Zlatoust” issue still remains urgent as the art metal of Zlatoust belongs to a special production sphere and is a part of Ural industrial culture. Interdisciplinary approach allowed investigating the issues of art education and training engravers, conservation of metal-working art traditions and continuity of generations. In the considered period the previous years’ omissions in the art of Zlatoust engraving were opened, the overcoming of which started with the formation of a new creative team.
