PROMOTION IN THE 1920S: GOALS AND RESULTS

(BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE BRYANSK PROVINCE)

The article reveals the problem of the promotion of workers and peasants to leadership positions in the Bryansk province on the basis of archival material. The process of forming a new composition of managerial personnel in the first half of the 1920s was chaotic. Many nominees were not ready to quickly master a new profession and change the usual way of life. Workers and peasants, lacking the necessary experience and education, needed the help of qualified specialists. Some nominees expressed dissatisfaction with the appointment to a new position. Inattention to the abilities of specialists and the lack of systematic nature of the nomination led to irrational use of labor. In 1926, it was planned to increase the level of knowledge of workers and peasants by creating an institute of nominees in the Komsomol. The educational institution was supposed to carry out political and general training of nominees, as well as to replenish their practical knowledge. However, it took more time and attention from the local and central authorities to solve all the urgent problems. The sources used reveal some of the reasons for the failures of the Soviet government in the nomination and show that by the end of the 1920s in the Bryansk province it was not possible to create a new cadre capable of replacing old specialists in responsible work.

Keywords: nominees, leading cadres, Bryansk province, Soviet power, new intelligentsia.
