Abstract
The article considers the issue of the formation of state management system of industry in the USSR, which was developed on the basis of the first decrees of the Soviet government. The relevance of the study is due to the consonance of the past problems of the mining industry with the modern ones, which manifested themselves in the conditions of a radical transformation of the state's position in relation to mineral resources. It is shown that in the 1920s in the country, the processes of liquidation of local entrepreneurship, the transition to a centralized, planned-regulated system of economic management, within which there was an enlargement and state monopolization of its mining industry began. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that, on the basis of documentary sources, the process of creating an mining industry in the Yakut ASSR is revealed, the course of making consistent, logically grounded decisions corresponding to the chosen principles and priorities of the development of the region is traced. The presented results reflect the peculiarities and specifics of local realities, in the conditions of which difficult decisions were made, proceeding from the vital economic interests of the republic. It was found that the efforts of the republican authorities to organize, select priorities in the distribution of human resources, undertaken in the 1920s subsequently proved their effectiveness, contributed to the formation of a public administration system operating on the principles of economic independence of the region.
