Abstract

The economy of Siberia and the Far East has undergone radical change during the years of Soviet power, especially during the postwar period. The development of Eastern Siberia's water power resources, the development of oil and gas fields in the West Siberian plain, and the construction of the Baikal-Amur Main Line are important stages in the development of the productive forces of the eastern regions of the RSFSR, which have become the basis of the formation of large new territorial production complexes. Between 1940 and 1975 total industrial output increased 31 times in the West Siberian region and 23 times in the East Siberian region, compared with the 17-times increase in the USSR as a whole and the 15-times increase in the RSFSR.
