On a Question of a Historiography of Electrification of the USSR 1920-1930 Years by Alexander Ivanovich Lushin, Vladimir Vladimirovich Avdanin

“…Despite the prevailing opinion in the literature that the high industrial potential of pre-revolutionary Russia was the critical factor in the electrification of the country, the article demonstrates the determining role of the executive corps. Because the entire array of issues related to the repressive politics of the government toward technical specialists and executives in the energy field has remained outside of the scientific analysis in Russian historiography, the article addresses questions concerning the mass use of prison labor during the construction of energy facilities and the search for participants in the subversive conspiracy at the energy enterprises in the early 1930s. …”
