Scientific-technical creativity of youth in Eastern Siberia as a process of rationalization of the production
The article discusses stages of arising and development of scientific-technical creativity of youth (STCY) in Eastern Siberia. The author distinguishes the main feature of the (STCY) system in the Soviet Union, which is formation of primary technical skills and development of young people's interest in engineering and science, training science and production. The author showed the effectiveness of this system in the Soviet Union and its disintegration as a result of the crisis of the late 1980s concluded that the changed economic situation led to the fact that the centres (STCY) fell into disrepair. They became rather business incubators than innovative structure.
