To the Problem of New Industrialization and Distribution of Productive Forces on the Basis of Updating the Historical Experience and Practices of Transition to the Next Technological Modes in the Urals and Related Territories. Part 2. Soviet Practices

The article examines the Soviet practices of regional industrialization, the signs of transition to the next technological order and the key parameters of its activation. This is done on the basis of ideas about energy production cycles and historical analysis of technological shifts in the basic sectors of the Ural industry, as well as on the basis of spatial approaches to its location. The possibilities of updating Soviet practices in modern conditions have been verified. To this end, two platforms for accelerating the transition to higher technological modes have been fundamentally studied: a) a platform based on internal potential and b) a platform based on external technological borrowing and imports. The relationship between the evolution of the administrative formations of the region and industrial complexes with the prevailing technological modes was studied in order to understand the features of the historical territory of the Urals. The influence of changes in the size of the territory in the Soviet and post-Soviet period has been studied in the formation of branches of the regional economy and industrialization, its relationship with territorial rent and sectoral differentiation has also been studied. It is shown that the size of administrative entities and industrial complexes of the territory is associated with the evolution of production energy cycles. This predetermines the status, as well as the historical perspective of the territory, its readiness for new industrialization.
