The role of russian scientific schools in the formation and development of mechanization and electrification for agriculture in Russia (1920–2023 years)

Abstract

The article examines the process of formation and development of scientific agroengineering schools and their role in the creation of mechanization and electrification of agriculture in Russia in 1920–2023. The logic of the conducted research required the definition of time periods (pre-war 1920–1940); (post-war 1945–1990); (present 1991–2023). In the pre-war period, a powerful foundation and foundations for the development of agroengineering science were laid. The development and implementation of agricultural machinery has come to the fore. The post-war period is characterized by the rapid development of all spheres of agricultural mechanization and agricultural engineering; the creation of new agricultural machinery, the development of research methods, new more efficient design technologies, the consolidation of efforts of representatives of agroengineering science, testers and manufacturers of equipment. In the early 1990s, a significant reorganization was carried out in the engineering and technical sphere of the Russian agro-industrial complex. he Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been established. In October 2013, as part of the reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the State Academies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Agricultural Academy of the Russian Academy of Sciences merged. In 2016, the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations set a course to streamline the network of subordinate scientific organizations, create institutes and federal research centers based on similar topics. The followers of Academician V. P. Goryachkin work in these scientific institutes and centers. They develop the great scientific heritage left by him and, using the best domestic traditions, raise agroengineering science to a higher level.
