FIRST STATE AUTHORITIES OF PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMY OF KABARDINO-BALKARIA
The formation of the new Soviet state machinery of management of economy and finances was a hard work. The difficulties were, first of all, determined by the lack of experience and skills of the working masses, who had just started to master difficult art of governing the state in the conditions of fierce resistance of the overthrown, but not yet eliminated exploiting classes, who used all means of struggle from sabotage to the counter-revolutionary actions. The creation of the Soviet machinery of economic management was preceded by the establishment of workers' control of production, which was introduced in November 1917 on the proposal of Lenin. Practicing such control, the working class, firstly, protected industry, transport and construction from complete destruction, secondly, learned to manage the economy in practice. It was the worker's control which served as the foundation where a special body of economic board was erected - Supreme Soviet of the National Economy (VSNKh). Its main purpose was consisted in organizing the national economy and public finances. The regional councils of the national economy were the local bodies of VSNKh. In general, the system of government was the main engine of developing the republic's economy. The newly created bodies provided an unprecedented growth of social production, the continuous rise of the well-being of the people and pave the way for the creative activity of the masses. The organizational forms of state management of the economy and finances of Kabardino-Balkaria were based on the same principles as in the whole country in the Soviet period. But the features related to the historical, economic, ethno-graphic, cultural, social and living conditions took place. These features are considered in this article.
