Abstract
The Stalinist industrial modernization of the USSR, which began in the 1930s, was carried out on the basis of imported technological resources. The transition from the use of foreign equipment to the mass production of domestic analogs of equipment took place gradually, overcoming the difficulties of the post-war period. As a result of the modernization of the energy industry of Leningrad at the turn of the 1940s-1950s a base of import-substituting production of all-Union significance was created. The article analyzes the main problems and features of the state energy policy in the period 1940–1980s, assesses the impact of industrial management reform on the development of the energy industry in the late 1950s, the author notes the specific role of leading party bodies in this process.
