THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. This report deals with the question of how directcrgof enterprise,
and organizations hire specialists for scientific research and
technical work, mainly those specialists graduating from higher
educational institutions, local or otherwise.
2. First of all it is necessary to take into account the fact that
the majority of specialists in the USSR are not hired as a result
of private initiative either on the part of the specialistor
of the director of the enterprise. Specialists in the Soviet
Union are distributed among the places of employment according
to a plan which is made by the directors of the ministries or
of the head directorates regardless of the wishes of the
specialists or of the directors of enterprises. Also, in the
distribution of specialists among the various enterprises and
organizations, it is not the factor of physical location of the
educational institution but the factor of its organizational
subordination which is taken into account. Let us see how this
works in actual practice.

I,the majority of higher technical educational
institutions in the USSR are under the control of the various
ministries. Only teacher-training institutions and universities
are under the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR. (The
Ministry of :Higher Education of the USSR was reestablished by an
order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated
16 Mar 53):. Specialists completing higher technical training
institutions are directed to work by the head directorates of
personnel of the ministries having control over the enterprises
and organizations in question.. Basically, the principles govern-
ing the distribution of specialists among places of work are:
(a) Departmental indication, that is, specialists are sent only
to those enterprises or organizations which are governed by
the same ministry that operates the educational institution
from which they (the specialists) have graduated. For
example, specialists completing the marine engineering
division of the Leningrad Higher Maritime School cannot be
sent to work in the system of the Ministry of the Petroleum
Industry.
(b) The need for specialists in a particular enterprise or organiza-
tion and the extent to which specialists are actually used in
practical work by the enterprise or organization. These
factors are established by the ministries without reRard to
the personal wishes of the specialists.
50:00 an example. The majority of higher technical
education institutions are concentrated in the oblast and
industrial centers of European USSR. However, the majority
of specialists graduating from these institutions (up to 90%)
are sent to work in the Ural region, Siberia, the Far East,
the Sub-Arctic and rural areas, one more concrete
example. In the Soviet Union there are five maritime higher ,
education institutions, two in Leningrad, two in Odessa and
one in Vladivostok. However, a very small number of
specialists completing the institutions in Leningrad and
Odessa are assigned to work in those places. About 90% of
these specialists are sent to work in the Caspian, Arctic
and Far Eastern basins. The only exception here is the
Vladivostok Higher Maritime School which sends the majority
of its specialists to work in the Far East (although not in
Vladivostok) mostly in Sakhalin, Kamchatka and the Chuckchee
50:00 Peninsula. not believe that any significant number of
specialists graduating from' higher maritime educational
institutions are sent to serve in the navy.
4. In order to determine what percentage of specialists graduating
from institutions are hired by local enterprises or organizations
and what percentage are sent to other areas for employment it is
necessary to approach each case individually. For example, in
Astrakhan there are nine enterprises and organizations of the
merchant fleet, seven of the river fleet and also enterprises and
organizations of the petroleum and fishing industries. However,
in the city there is not a single maritime, river or petroleum
institution of higher education. Specialists for these enter-
prises are brought in from other places (for the merchant fleet
mostly from Odessa, for the river fleet mostly from Gorki and
partly from Leningrad). Here the fishing industry is an
exception hL ause the,-, is the Astrakhan Fishing Higher Technical
Education Institution which does send some of its specialists to
w 1- in the local fishing enterprises. But even so about 70-75%
of -he specialists are sent to work in other localities.
5. In the enterprises and organizations of the merchant and river
fleet in the town of Gurev the specialists are taken from other
localities (for the merchant fle mainly from Odessa and for
the river fleet mainly from Gork:).

6, In the :nterprises and organizations of the merchant fleet in
Krasn4Vodsk, speqialists;.are taken mainly from Odessa,
7. In the enterprises and organizations of the merchant fleet in Baku,
specialists are takenmainly from Odessa and Leningrad.. Specialists
for the. petroleum industry are taken mainly from the Baku Petroleum
Institute.
8.
In the enterprises of the merchant fleet in Makhachkala, specialists
are taken mostly from Odessa while the petroleum enterprises take
their specialists from Baku and Moscow.
9. As far as the hiring of specialists for industrial scientific
research work is concerned, the situation is as follows: First
of all, scientific workers are concentrated mainly in scientific
research institutes and in institutions of higher education, and
generally not assigned permanently to enterprises. Exceptions to
this rule are the very large enterprises which have laboratory
facilities and which employ on a regular basis scientific research
workers, scientific
research and educational institutions carry on their own scientific
re4earch work with a view to tying it in with the production
nedds of the department under which they are operating. If a
scientific worker or a group of such workers is found in an
enterprise it is usually on a temporary basis while they are
helping the enterprise out with some special problem or assign-
ment; For example, in the system of the merchant and river fleet
the enterprises which are located in the same town as the
scientific and educational establishment have the greater possib-
ility of employing the services, on a consultant basis, of
scientific workers from that establishment. In particular, such
establishments are located in Moscow, Leningrad, Odessa, Gorki,
Novosibirsk and Vladivostok. Practice has shown that the enter-
prises and organizations of the merchant and river fleet located
in these towns have a greater opportunity of receiving help from
scieptific workers than do the enterprises located in, for example,
Kraspovodsk, Dudinka or on the Chuckchee Peninsula. Although the
scientific workers are occasionally sent out on business trips to
enterprises and the scientific establishments do send written
advice to enterprises, that type of scientific help cannot �have
the same effect as the type available when the enterprise is
located in the same town and can employ scientific workers
directly.
