PERSONNEL TRAINING FOR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS OF NATIONAL REPUBLICS IN USSR IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1960S - THE FIRST HALF OF THE 1980S
The article examines certain problems associated with the adopted policy and the established practice of training national personnel for cultural institutions of the union and autonomous republics. The author presents data that make it possible to understand the specifics of the admission of applicants and the distribution of ready-made specialists, as well as the system of postgraduate training in the field of art. When studying the identified problems, the archival documents of the USSR Ministry of Culture, as well as the culture department of the CPSU Central Committee were used. From the analysis of the documents, we can conclude that during the period under review, the maximum possible was done to increase the number of specialists with higher education in the national republics. The personnel shortage of such specialists in some regions was associated to a greater extent with the problem of “fixing” graduates at the place of distribution, rather than with the system of training national personnel at the level of university and postgraduate education.
