Abstract

The aim of the research is to elucidate the main scientific and field cooperation areas of the Ukrainian and Moldavian SSR agrarian scientists under the auspices of the Southern Branch of V. I. Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Southern Branch of the VASHNIL), its activities and contribution to the development of agrarian science. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, system-formation, scientific character, the author’s objectivity, and the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization), special and historical (historical systemic, historical typological, etc.) methods. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time on the basis of previously unknown archival documents there have been highlighted the results of scientific and methodological activities of the Southern Branch of the VASHNIL, which aimed at organizing research in various scientific areas, taking into account zonal characteristics, specialization and concentration of agrarian production. The Conclusions. The cooperation of the Ukrainian and Moldavian scientists ensured the development of highly efficient technologies in farming and plant cultivation, plant selection and seed production, land reclamation and animal husbandry, mechanization and electrification, economics and organization of agrarian production. Systematic exchange of scientific information accelerated and increased the efficiency of practical implementation of research results in production. The results of research work of the Ukrainian and Moldavian scientists gained international recognition among scientists of the Soviet Union Republics and the countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. Their significant achievements provided an increase in international prestige and confirmation that domestic science occupied an honorable place abroad.
