49. Socio-economic development of the USSR in the mid-1960s - early 1980s

The plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU recognized it as inexpedient to combine the duties of the First Secretary of the Central Committee (it became L. I. Brezhnev) and the President of the Council of Ministers (A. N. Kosygin). The next 20 years were the period of the most stable development of Soviet society.

Between 1964 and 1985 there was a rapid increase in the population of the country. Under these conditions, social policy acquired special significance. But the main funds in the country were used to carry out economic reforms, while the social sphere was financed according to the residual principle:

1) investments in current construction were reduced;

2) health care spending was reduced;

3) the food problem has aggravated (Rosimport of food), which already in the 1970s. was the reason for the introduction of a card distribution system; decline in real per capita income.

In the field of economics in the 1960-1980s. one of the largest reforms of the economic mechanism, prepared back in the era of N. S. Khrushchev, began to be carried out in the country:

1) in agriculture, the debts of collective farms and state farms were written off;

2) increased purchase prices;

3) set a surcharge for above-plan production.

In industry, the main direction of transformation was:

1) strengthening cost accounting;

2) restructuring the pricing system;

3) restoration of the sectoral principle of management;

4) reduction in the number of planned indicators.

The main goal of all reforms was to improve the economy through the introduction of a mechanism of internal self-regulation. The main shortcomings of the reform were half-heartedness and inconsistency. The accompanying negative reform processes were:

1) extensive development, which implied the expansion of production, which became difficult due to the exhausted possibilities of the main donor - agriculture;

2) the need to build up military potentials;

3) covering the state budget deficit through energy exports;

4) inability to master new technologies of scientific and technological revolution;

5) the emergence of the shadow economy and its merging with corrupt groups of the Soviet nomenklatura.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Random news from the Archive Glue for the brain 16.04.2021 Brain glue, a reparative hydrogel that mimics the composition and mechanics of the brain, has been developed in the United States. This substance is designed to help people with disabilities after a traumatic brain injury. The hydrogel was created by the biotechnology company Regenerative Biosciences Center at the University of Georgia (USA). The gel not only protects against the loss of brain tissue after a severe head injury, but also contributes to the functional recovery of the nervous system. The "glue" mimics the structure and function of the sugar network that supports brain cells, and also contains key structures that bind to basic fibroblast growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. These are protective protein factors that can increase the survival and recovery of brain cells after severe injury. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 5,3 million people in the United States live with a permanent disability associated with a traumatic brain injury. Brain damage following a major TBI usually results in extensive tissue loss and long-term disability. There are currently no clinical therapies to prevent cognitive impairment or tissue loss.
