Abstract

In modern economic conditions, it is advisable to study the issues related to the evolvement and development of the scientific and technical process in the late 1990s – early 2000s, which made it possible to carry out effective modernization in the industry of the USSR, to reduce the decline in the country’s industrial potential in the early 1990s, as well as to move to new breakthrough discoveries in the field of industry, taking into account the use of robotics and artificial intelligence at manufacturing site. In many ways, political institutions, various departments and ministries are responsible for carrying out this work, through the activities of which the country’s state policy is implemented. That is why it is important to analyze not only the industrial development of the state or large industries, but the regional authorities as well.

The purpose of the study is to study the creation and activities carried out by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Transport of the Chuvash Republic in the 1990s as one of the central management bodies of Chuvashia’s industry.

Materials and methods. The methodological base of the article includes general scientific and special historical methods and approaches. The main materials for writing the article were archival funds identified in the State Archive of Modern History of the Chuvash Republic, some of the documents are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Research results. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, during the “perestroika”, which resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union and formation of independent states, there was a change in the political course of the USSR. With this background, large-scale changes in the state structure were observed at all levels of government in the newly formed Russian Federation. When acquiring a new status, the Chuvash Republic, as well as many other regions of the country, carried out reforms of state administration bodies. In particular, in 1992, the Ministry of Industry of the Chuvash SSR was established in the system of the state apparatus of Chuvashia, which managed 83 enterprises related to mechanical engineering and metalworking, consumer goods industry, chemical, forestry and woodworking industries, in addition, design and other organizations. In December 1993 Chuvashia became a presidential republic, which led to a series of modernizations in its administrative structures of power. In 1994, the above-mentioned ministry was transformed into the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Transport of the Chuvash Republic. The direct powers of the new structure were also expanded – it carried out state regulation and coordination of the activities carried out by industrial associations, enterprises and organizations of the republic, formed the state industrial policy, carried out forecasting and analysis of the activities of industrial enterprises.

Conclusions. The analysis made it possible to determine the main stages in the development and activity carried out by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Transport of the Chuvash Republic in the 1990s, which is one of the central management bodies of industry in Chuvashia. The sources made it possible to trace and evaluate the powers and tasks facing the Ministry, taking into account the difficulties of the economic reforms of the 1990s and the expansion of ownership of industrial facilities. Despite the acute crisis in the socio-economic sphere during the period under study, the industry of Chuvashia in the late 1990s – early 2000s managed to overcome the decline and crisis phenomena, which resulted in continuing its progressive development, which was largely due to a competent management policy implemented by public authorities.
