Abstract

The topic of pension system for disabled people during the Great Patriotic War remains poorly studied and relevant. Russian historiography considers the practice of pension payments to disabled persons in 1941-1945 as one of the directions of the state social policy of that period, while there are very few publications purposefully studying this issue. This determined the aim of the research to study the practice of pension system for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, using archival materials of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, in which a significant part of the war invalids underwent rehabilitation, to reveal the specifics of its realization on the ground. The most acceptable for the study of this issue is the concept of social exclusion, which considers the possibilities of the state to overcome the exclusion of disabled people from society, including through financial payments. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, disabled people received pensions according to the pre-war legislation of 1940, which modifies during the war years. Pension system during the war gave a minimum level of social protection of disabled citizens. The disabled of the Patriotic War gradually turned into a privileged group of recipients of social assistance.
