During the Stalin Five-Tsar Plans, the Soviet radio industry has grown into
a strong independent branch of production. Radio and radio-tube pleats manufactured
nearly one billion rubles' worth of products in 1940. The radio industry has
built powerful broadcasting stations; radio sets for aircraft, tanks, vessels of
all classes dad for airfields. It has built radio-navigation and other devices.

Provisions for the radio industry in the 1946-1950 Five-Fear Plan include the
setting up of 55 telephone-telegraph radio transmitters and 28 radi pro
casting stations, the enlargement of the radio network by 75 pere compared
with prewar level, the restoration ard re-equipment of the television center r in
Moscow, and the building of new television centers in Leningrad, Kiev,

plants were evacuated to rear areas.
Despite wartime hardships. the workers continued to improve engineering tech-
niques, search for new materials, and develop new daeigns. They provided the
Red Army with an increasing number of radio sets. Beginning in 1943, every tank
'and self-propelled gun, and every airplan4 was equipped with two-fray radio sets
of domestic manufa4tu a.
The government decorates outstanding workers in radio industry with orders
and medals. For the creation of new radio equipment, 47 engineers and technicians
were awarded the title, Laureateof a Stalin Prize. By Radio Day, 360 outgtanding

b ii. ;;',.ildings will be supplied in 1946.
T'hr- Five-Year Plan envisages the equipment of trunk lines of communication
.ri'th cr,dern, high-quality equipment. The Plan also foreseestue adoption of
troremiasion equipment, new radio tubes, photoelectric cells, devices for high-
'c.-.qvl-ic^y ter'pering, electroannealing, etc.
Soviet Industry must produce, within the next 5 years, 3 million receiving
of which 2,200,000 will be built by plants of the Ministry of the Electrical
Ind uatry. The production of receiving sets will be brought up to 925,000 a year
by the end of the Five-Year Plan.
At present, the Ministry of the Electrical Industry has developed and is
producing'five types of receivers: "Rekord," Salyut," "Rodin," "VIP-M-557,"
acrd "Vostok." Designers will continue to develop new types of radio receivers,
bearing in mind the comments and wishes of consumers. An improved, high-quality
receiving set, the "Leningrad," will go into production in the near future.
In 194'T there will be ten types of receiving sets being produced, including
radio-phonographs and automobile sets.
radiofication of small villages possible have already been constructed. A small
rebroadcasting set which uses battery feed and Is equipped with a wind-riven
generator is being developed.
The Five-Tear Plan envisages great progress in television. This presents a
serious task for the radio industry: to master mass production of television
receiving sets. Television receivers were manufactured In small numbers before
rho war. By the aid of the new Five-Tear Plan, it will. be necessary to bring
production up to 85,000 sets per year.
Pro'tuctlon of television receivers at plants in Mcacov and Leningrad is to
to organized, and the building of a plant for television equipment in Kiev is
contemplated.
,,rid tr-]evIaion etudioa, ensuring clearness up tou25linno,will be completed.
The Five-Year Plan stipulates the necessity "of ensurdng the maximum increase
in defensive capacity of the IIS.SR, and aupplyingthe armed forces of tho Soviet
Union With the newest military techniques."
while satisfying the needs of the population in broadcasting equipment
ar.i commurications facilities, the radio industry must do a great deal in the
all forces or the basis of experience Ii. World War II and later achievements.
These instruments should use new and better units, tubes, and high-quality
insu~ating materials (ceramics, polystyrenes, polythene, etc.) which will
guarantee increased reliability and greater convenience In operation.
large part of the refitting work should consist of developing radio
equipment which solves entirely new problems.
The radio industry has often been Criticized, with justification, for the
