Forms of development of academic research in Yakutia in 1947-1991.

The aim of the work is to create a dynamic picture of the development of the forms of research of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Yakutia in 1947-1991. The initial chronological boundary is connected with the organization of the Yakut base of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The final boundary is due to the reformatting of the USSR Academy of Sciences into the Russian Academy of Sciences. The research is based on the involvement of documents from the archives of the Yakut Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Archive of the P.I. Melnikov Permafrost Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Current Archive of the Yu.G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Yakutsk), the Scientific Archive of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk), the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), as well as information presented in the available scientific literature. When processing the accumulated materials, special historical methods of scientific cognition were used (the principle of historicism, historical-typological, historical-comparative and historical-genetic methods, etc.). For the first time in historiography, a characteristic of the development of forms of organization of academic research in Yakutia in the period 1947–1991 is presented. It is noted that during the period considered in the article, the forms of organization of academic research in Yakutia have received significant development. The expedition surveys of the staff of the USSR Academy of Sciences were continued, which were carried out with greater intensity than before. An important place was occupied by stationary research, which unfolded on a network of hospitals in various parts of Yakutia. In addition, experimental and design work carried out in academic institutions established in the region was characterized by a number of achievements. This state of affairs has allowed the academic center to conduct a complex of largely unique research focused not only on obtaining fundamental, but also applied, of serious practical importance, results.
