The role of central and regional authorities in the development of the scientific organization system in the Krasnoyarsk territory in 1950th-1970th

The formation of scientific organizations, as well as their networks, are traditionally determined through an economic base - by the need to develop either individual sectors of the national economy, most significant in a certain period, or the entire economy. At the same time, specific influences generated exclusively by the political sphere of public life are beyond consideration. This article attempts to comprehend these processes by examining the formation and development of not central, but peripheral, regional systems of scientific organizations. The author analyzes the role of political entities in the development of the scientific organizations structure of the Krasnoyarsk territory and identifies two main acting actors - the state and regional nomenclature with bureaucracy. While the state provides overarching directives and resources, regional elites wield significant influence over the allocation and distribution of scientific resources within the region. This interplay between central and regional actors results in a complex network of scientific institutions characterized by both cooperation and competition. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of understanding the interplay between political, economic, and institutional factors in shaping regional scientific systems. By elucidating the roles of central and regional authorities, the research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the dynamics driving scientific development in peripheral regions.
