Abstract

The Great Patriotic War influenced living conditions of the entire population of the country.From the very beginning of the war, authorities began to redistribute most of the resources in favor of the battlefront. The adaptation process was short, and the period of abnormal life lasted until 1943. The life in the frontline of Grozny acquired the characteristics reasoned by the threat of the capture of the city. The change in the appearance of the city and the dynamics of urban life was associated with airstrikes, air alarms, blackout, curfew, pillboxes, etc. The shortage and poor quality of food, high morbidity and mortality in 1941–1943, tense sanitary and epidemiological situation in Grozny took place. During the years of the war, the population of Grozny developed specific socio-cultural and living conditions. In modern historical science, social history has acquired particular relevance, attracting the attention of scientists. The main object of the study is the ordinary participants of the historical process, and in the study of the history of the war - the population, its social problems and their solutions in difficult conditions of life. The problem of the “human dimension” of war is not enough studied. In this regard, it is advisable to study the problem at the micro level. In addition, the attraction of regional historical material makes it possible to uncover the motivation of actions in specific circumstances (including extreme ones), which ultimately helps to substantially complement the picture of war in historiography and mass consciousness.
