Guidelines
First, it should be noted that the World War II, despite its enormous negative consequences, was the reason that for the first time in centuries, all Ukrainian ethnic territories were in one state, greatly expanded its borders, and the adoption of the United Nations Organization increased the international authority of Ukraine. For the first time in its history, Ukraine has become a cathedral, having absorbed all ethnic Ukrainian lands. Four years of unprecedented scale for their World War II Ukraine brought untold suffering and sacrifice, destruction of the economy and way of life. In 1945, industrial production in the country was only 25 percent from the level in 1940. Therefore, the Soviet authorities with particular acuteness faced the task of rebuilding the economy, which began in 1943, immediately after the expulsion from Ukraine Nazi invaders.
In March 1946, the Verovna Rada approved a five-year plan for reconstruction and economic development for 1946-1950. The main objectives of the Fourth five-years plan consisted in the reconstruction of damaged areas of the state, restoring pre-war levels of industry and agriculture as well as its increase.
The basis of this model was industrialization, which was based on the priority development of basic heavy industries (fuel and energy, metallurgical and engineering) and carried out by ruthless exploitation of agriculture. During 1946-1950, industrial production is 15 percent higher than the prewar level. This contributed to the team and the only method of control-Union commercial complex, which at that time paid off and brought quick results.
It should be noted that Ukrainian industry, like all Soviet industry, increasingly felt the lack of advanced technology and technical equipment behind market economies. The high technical level of retained only the sphere of military-industrial complex, which allocated substantial funds. High quantitative indicators in the national economy achieved by low-wage workers, employees and almost gratuitous labor of peasants, farms which imposed high taxes.
During 1946-1950, the price of huge tension forces of the people was largely rebuilt the economy of Ukraine. The volume of gross industrial output of the republic during 1946-1950, increased by 4.4 times and exceeded the 1940 level by 15 percent. By the end of the first postwar five-year plan was rebuilt Dneproges, "Azovstal", "Zaporizhstal", Donbass mines, machine factories in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and other cities. For some indicators, Ukraine ahead of developed European countries. But not all the problems of pastwar period ended. Significantly behind agriculture, light industry, food industry, which resulted in low standard of living, which deepened the results of monetary reform in 1947 and the devaluation. The low level was the introduction of scientific and technological revolution in production. Our country faces a need of deep social and economic changes.
