Administrative Practice in the Soviet Rear: An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Mobilization Efforts

• In Event: Evacuees and Mobilized Labor under Conditions of Total Labor Mobilization: A Case Study of Kazakh SSR during the Second World War

Abstract

The paper is focused on the analysis of evacuation of labor resources of the USSR during the war years 1941-1945. Due to the hurried nature of the evacuation of most industrial enterprises during the war, the process of placing evacuated workers and setting up production was challenging. There was a severe shortage of material and human resources, and the absence of an established management system. As a result, management practices combined coercive measures with appeals to patriotism.
