Russian Scientific and Educational Potential in the 20th – First Quarter of the 21st Century: the Experience of Transformation
From the Editor
The focus in this issue of the journal on the historical experience of the transformations of the domestic scientific and educational potential in the 20th century is prompted by its high demand from both the scientific community, which requires constant reflection and updating of retrospective expert assessments of the path traveled, and the understanding by society and state institutions of the significance and importance of this subject area. This area is fundamentally crucial in the structure of factors that determine the actual economic, cultural, and defense potential of the country concerning the needs of its existence and ensuring sustainable development. Science, in its inseparable connection with educational institutions, has been and continues to be the foundation for the formation, accumulation, and reproduction of people and their ideas, which are a qualitative component of the country’s human capital.

General Education School in the RSFSR in the 1930s: From the Experiment of “Polytechnization” to Traditional Training
The article analyzes the system of school education in Soviet Russia in the 1930s as the main source of student recruitment. Based on a wide range of sources, the author analyzed the radical transformations of school education during the “cultural revolution” of the early 1930s. First of all, we are talking about the actual liquidation of schools of the 2nd stage, as well as the so-called “polytechnization” of the educational process and the transformation of the school into an element of industrial production and the collective farm system. It was concluded that these innovations literally called into question the very existence of the school as an educational institution. It was concluded that these innovations literally called into question the very existence of the school as an educational institution. As a result, already in 1932, the classical classroom system of education was restored in its rights, the main task of the secondary school was declared the quality of training, in parallel, the normalization and unification of the educational process was carried out.
The article was completed within the framework of the topic of the state assignment of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation “Society and Power in Russia in the 20th − Early 21st Centuries: Political Participation, Communication, Identity of Actors” (FWZM-2024-0008).

Formation and Development of the First Novosibirsk Technical Institute in the Context of the University Reforms of the 1930s
The article discusses the processes of formation of branch higher education institutions as a new type of universities that arose in the 1930s, using the example of the first novosibirsk technical institute (NoRIET−NIMET) in the context of the dynamics of regional development of the university network during the first five-year plans. The problems arising in the organization of universities and the mechanisms for their solution are identified. It was found that the problems related to material support were solved during the first years of work, and the personnel shortage was overcome only by the end of the 1930s, and the qualification level of the teaching staff was still low.

The article is devoted to identifying the features of historical education and the existence of a corporation of historians in late Stalinist Russia (1946−1953). The corpus of ego documents (memoirs, diaries, oral stories) and visual sources of the electronic resource “History of Russia in Photographs”, artistic and journalistic works were studied. Psychological features and accepted behavior patterns of teachers and students are considered. It is noted that isotests make it possible to assess behavioral and emotional behavior patterns: restraint, seriousness, modesty.

Transformation of Scientific Approaches in the Latest Domestic Historiography to the Study of the Formation of the Soviet Electoral System
The article analyzes the evolution of scientific approaches in the latest Russian historiography to the Soviet electoral system. Understanding of electoral issues has a significant tradition both in Soviet and in modern Russian historical and legal science. The interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of the topic allowed social scientists from various fields to make a significant scientific contribution to its study. Despite the significant volume of work, in recent decades no complete historiographic analysis of Soviet electoral issues has been conducted. This publication presents an attempt at a systematic, comprehensive review of modern scientific understanding of the early Soviet electoral system.

National Research Universities in Siberia: Global Matrices, Historical Legacy and Contemporary Practices
Based on the example of the leading higher educational establishments of Siberia, Tomsk and Novosibirsk Universities, the paper compares two different trajectories of universities' advancement to the status of national research universities (NRU), which legitimized and formalized their belonging to the elite segment of the Russian university system. It is shown that the logics of development of potential and capabilities of the two universities differed from each other, essentially reflecting different scientific and educational paradigms. But despite the difference in the models of evolution, both research universities are now the mainstays of the transforming innovation system.

This documentary publication is dedicated to the events of 1921−1922 that led to the Bolsheviks’ de facto abandonment of the principle of university autonomy in Soviet Russia. Through the example of the materials published, it is established that the faculty sought legitimate forms of collaboration with the new authority in the interests of science and higher education, as well as ensuring the basic conditions for professional activity. The adoption of the updated charter of higher education in the summer of 1922 and the victory of the radical wing within the Bolshevik leadership marked the rejection of university autonomy and a shift toward repressive measures in relation to the inherited intellectual human resources of the country.

The publication considers a turning point in the professional activities of one of the country’s leading scientists in the field of historical and cultural research of the early Soviet era, Professor Varlen Lvovich Soskin. In the 1980s and early 1990s. There was his transition from studying general issues of the history of Soviet culture and intelligentsia to developing problems of the social history of Russian science. The conditions and factors that formed V.L. Soskin as the leader of this scientific direction in Siberia, who created a dynamically developing team of students who worked in an interdisciplinary field with the participation of social philosophers, sociologists, and science scientists, are analyzed.

The Novosibirsk Scientific Center has created favorable conditions for this. The study revealed that it was NSU graduates who formed the core of the scientific school. If in the 1970s since the history of culture and the intelligentsia was at the center of research problems, the 1980s saw the emergence of a scientific direction for the study of the history of science and education as an integral part of the history of culture. The methodological justification for the need to study science and education as a social institution made it possible to train personnel in a new paradigm.

A possible model of strengthening the communicative space of the region through horizontal scientific ties has been identified. The specificity of the content of scientific contacts of V.L. Soskin with Omsk historians is shown. Three main forms of interaction between the Novosibirsk Scientific School and Omsk historians are considered: (1) individual contacts; (2) participation in scientific conferences and editorial boards of the journal “Cultural Studies in Siberia”; (3) the introduction of V.L. Soskin's heritage in the preparation of candidates of sciences and in curricula for masters and bachelors of the Faculty of History of Omsk State University.
