Соціально-економічні процеси в Івано-Франківській області Україн ської РСР в радянській історіографії

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyze the scientific works of Soviet economists, state officials, and historians and formulate relevant recommendations for the post-war reconstruction of the economy and infrastructure of independent Ukraine. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientificity, objectivity, and historicism. Problem-chronological, exploratory, and analytical methods have been employed, along with the generalization and systematization of materials. The scientific novelty lies in the awareness of both negative and positive trends in the socio-economic life of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, as a component of the western region of Ukraine and the republic. This allows for the development of a program for economic reconstruction and some theoretical and practical guidelines. The main focus should be on the legal framework and provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine. Successful reconstruction of the country is possible with the involvement of qualified specialists and managers, as well as a modern educational-information network. An important component of the state's social policy is the management of labor resources and the implementation of an active employment policy. Addressing fundamental household issues will have a positive impact on the reconstruction and development of the economy. Conclusions. There are all reasons to agree with Soviet scholars that the development of the economy and household infrastructure of the region was closely linked to the improvement of the educational and cultural level of the local population. Factors influencing the improvement of well-being and life expectancy included the level of medical services, social guarantees, pension provision, and receiving payments and benefits from the state budget. These generalizations apply to all works and publications. In the early 1970s, an economic concept was being implemented in practice – as the state's economy strengthens, the well-being of the people grows. Its essence lay in the idea that the state should allocate appropriate funds to meet the social needs of people: education, medicine, culture, and improvement. The Ukrainian people, in difficult conditions of totalitarianism, managed to preserve its language, culture, and timeless spiritual values thanks to the active efforts of the intelligentsia.
