Over 30 years Abdurakhman Daniyalovich held leadership positions in Dagestan, of which he headed the republic for 19 years and remained in the memory of the Dagestanis as a truly people's politician and leader.
Let the stirrup tinkle of youth,
And the horses do not carry us to the mountains ...
Abdurakhman, swift time
He will give everyone his due.
Let the youth, having taken a sip of freedom,
We are criticized far and wide,
She is unaware that in the Stalin years
You saved Dagestan from Beria.
Rasul Gamzatov dedicated such lines to him.
Abdurakhman Daniyalovich was awarded five Orders of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, the Order of the Patriotic War, I degree, and eleven medals. Today it is impossible to imagine Dagestan, its history in isolation from the personality of Abdurakhman Daniyalov.
The granddaughter of Abdurakhman Daniyalovich Umuzhat Magomedova, Candidate of Philology, Professor, Head of the Interfaculty Department of Foreign Languages of the DSPU, shared her memories of her famous grandfather with our readers.
- Umuzhat Akhmedovna, tell us about the childhood of Abdurakhman Daniyalovich, in what family did he grow up, who were his parents?
- Grandfather was born in the family of a rather prosperous sheep breeder Daniyal. But when he was only 9 years old, his father fell off a cliff, and his mother was again married off by her brother. A year after the death of his father, Abdurakhman and his younger brother Gajiali lived with their grandfather, and their sister was allowed to take their mother to help with the housework. But then the boys were sent to the Chokhsky orphanage. And the Chokhs then joked: “Is this the same Abdurakhman who was brought in a khurjin on a donkey? I answered: “No, this is the Abdurakhman who was the first secretary!”.
In the orphanage, the Soviet government provided all the conditions for the upbringing and development of children. They were dressed, shod, fed three times a day. In addition to school education, there was also an additional one, various sections also worked there. So, my grandfather learned to play the violin, his brother entered the theater club. Then, already studying in Buynaksk, grandfather met Khadizha, his love. Grandmother studied at the Buynaksk Pedagogical College, and there, in the regional committee of the Komsomol, they met their grandfather. She was also a Komsomol activist. However, they did not give her away for him for a long time, since Khadija was from an intelligent family, the daughter of a doctor, and he was an orphan from an orphanage, and even from another village - Rugudzha. And at that time, customs in different villages differed - according to adats, according to habits, and strangers were not favored. Grandfather later recalled as a nightmare about the test that he had to go through for the sake of his beloved. Her father, Murtazali Dibirov, took a cerebrospinal fluid puncture from his future son-in-law to make sure that he was not sick with tuberculosis, which is a very painful procedure even in our time. In addition, the bride's family put forward the condition that Abdurakhman and his young wife go to study in Moscow. We got married and went to Moscow. Khadija entered the Institute of Animal Husbandry, and Abdurakhman entered the Institute of Water Management Engineers, studied as a hydraulic engineer. His thesis work was the project of the first Dagestan power plant, but Abdurakhman was not allowed to work on its construction, they decided to leave him in Moscow. At first, it was very difficult for the family, so my mother, who was born in Moscow, at the age of three months was sent to Chokh to the parents of my grandmother Khadizhi.
- How do you remember your grandfather? Was he strict with his grandchildren?
- I was 20 years old when he died - already quite a conscious age, so I remember everything well. Grandfather and grandmother took us, grandchildren, brought up, looked after us until we grew up. First they raised the daughter of their eldest son Mithat, then the children of their middle son Yusup. Was he strict? No. Grandfather was with us, grandchildren, very gentle, on the contrary, grandmother commanded us. He often composed fairy tales for us, he did not read them, but he composed them for his grandchildren. There was a kind of distribution of responsibilities - he would pat on the head, and the granny would make a remark. I remember he took us to the government dacha on Tarki-tau, where we played, I remember the figures of frogs in the fountain. Grandfather warned: if you see a rope in the grass, do not touch it, stand and wait for me! There were a lot of snakes in the dacha, and he was worried about us.
– In 1937-1948, Abdurakhman Daniyalov worked as People's Commissar of Agriculture, Secretary of the Dagestan Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and Head of the Agricultural Department, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, was a member of the Military Council of the 44th Army. They say he convinced Stalin to refuse to resettle the Dagestanis.
- In the memoirs of my grandfather, these events are described in detail. There he says that after the Chechens were repressed, empty wagons were brought to Dagestan, everything was ready for the Dagestanis to follow the Chechens. They were just waiting for orders. Abdurakhman Daniyalovich was going to an appointment with Stalin, then Beria told him: “You, Abdurakhman, you can, of course, go there. But whether you will go out or not is already unknown. ” But he nevertheless went and vouched for all the Dagestanis before the leader of the peoples. Stalin himself crossed out one Dagestani people after another from the "black" list, and in the end he said: "Your people are so strong that I broke my pencil." Proving that the Dagestanis are not traitors, that they themselves do not surrender, Abdurakhman began to collect volunteers, he sent very young guys to the front. It was after these events that the Dagestanis began to be given the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, one of the first was Magomed Gadzhiev. And this is not the first time my grandfather saved Dagestan. There was such a decision to join Dagestan to Azerbaijan, but he was categorically against it and defended our autonomy within the RSFSR. And how the Dagestanis now live in Zakatala, probably everyone has already heard. During the war, when the Germans came very close to Dagestan, the grandfather put his children and wife in a car and drove them around the city for everyone to see. He did this so that people knew that Daniyalov's family was in the city, and he himself did not run away. It lifted people's spirits, gave them confidence.
– From 1948 to 1967, Abdurakhman Daniyalov served as the first secretary of the Dagestan Regional Party Committee, the head of the republic. Under him, the development of industry and the reorganization of agriculture was carried out, the quality of life of the Dagestanis improved.
– Yes, of course it is. His activity fell on one of the most difficult periods in the history of Dagestan: the restoration of the destroyed economy, the transformation of the republic from an agrarian into a developed agrarian-industrial one. My grandfather has five Orders of Lenin, and the sixth was promised to him on his 60th birthday. But then there was a conflict with Leonid Brezhnev over the disposal of radioactive waste on the territory of our republic. Grandfather loved Dagestan very much, admired its nature, springs, waterfalls, pine forests of the Tsuntinsky, Tsumadinsky districts. He dreamed of making Dagestan a resort area, our Switzerland. And he simply could not allow this beauty to be destroyed by radiation, to doom the Dagestanis to extinction, here he was principled. Therefore, at the age of 59, in 1967, he was relieved of the post of the 1st secretary of the regional party committee, being transferred to the post of chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the DASSR, where he was only a year old, having retired at the age of 60. He left for Moscow, and there he worked for another 12 years as a party organizer at the Institute of Oriental Studies, where he was invited by his friend Yevgeny Primakov. At this institute, he defended his doctorate and wrote all his scientific papers. He returned to Dagestan a year before his death, already being seriously ill.
Grandfather traveled all over the republic, visited every village. He was a great diplomat and said: “People should be told the truth when it is pleasant, and when you can no longer be silent. The truth can hurt." People remember his human qualities. He amazed everyone with optimism, competence, tact. He understood and saw both the pros and cons of the society of his day, he saw everything that they do, hiding behind "big" names, including his name.
- Umuzhat Akhmedovna, is it planned to open a museum of Abdurakhman Daniyalov?
- Our family believes that this issue will be resolved positively, because Abdurakhman Daniyalov, who has done so much for Dagestan, is worthy of the memory of his fellow countrymen. The museum is needed not only by our family - we will always remember it, but by the republic - to educate the younger generation on the example of a person who gave his all to Dagestan, demanding nothing in return.

Abdurakhman Daniyalov headed Dagestan for 30 years (1940-1970). He was remembered by many as one of the most talented leaders of the republic, who, in a very difficult period for the republic, thanks to his deep and comprehensive knowledge of the republic, its economy, culture and traditions of the people, managed to significantly accelerate the pace of socio-economic development of Dagestan.

The following excerpt from the book Abdurahman Daniyalov - an outstanding figure of Dagestan (Abdulatip Gadzhiev, 2008) provided by our book partner - the company LitRes.

Bitter childhood

The native village of the Daniyalovs, Ruguja, in the Andalal section of the Gunib district, was a district center in 1937–1944. He was famous for his wonderful and talented people. This is Anhil Marin, who does not tolerate lies, a free-thinking poetess who fought for justice, sang freedom and boldly challenged society. In the same era, another talented person lived in Ruguja: a musician, poet, singer, athletic, slender, handsome Eldarilav. His life ended tragically. The priceless works of these two talented people are gone, leaving behind only separate pieces that are passed down from generation to generation.

Aul Rugudzha is proud of his glorious son, Hero of the Soviet Union Said Musaev, who repeated the feat of Alexander Matrosov in the Crimea.

Finally, the village of Rugudzha became known not only to the Caucasus, Russia, but also to the Soviet Union.

On August 22, 1908, in the same village, Daniyal and Marin had their first child, who was given the name Abdurakhman. Their family was as poor as most. The children saw their only breadwinner father, kind, strong and fair, only in the evenings, when he returned home exhausted and took to the meager food. His hands never knew rest, working on a meager piece of rocky land. So, from dawn to dusk, he bent his back, dreaming of the day when he would finally see the children well-fed and dressed.

Their father was the second son in the Amirkhamz family, and their mother was born the fourth daughter of Khapiz, a blind man who knew the Koran by heart and had an outstanding auditory memory.

For six years, Abdurakhman was assigned to a mekteb, to his grandfather Khapiz, who was engaged in studying and raising children. Within a year, Abdurakhman successfully graduated from the mekteb, learned to read the Koran well, perform prayers and keep fasting.

Little Abdurakhman had a hard time with the death of his grandmother Chakar, who loved him very much. As Abdurakhman Daniyalovich recalled, my grandmother was exceptionally tender, beautiful, charming and beloved.

At the age of ten, in 1916, his father died, leaving two sons and a daughter with debts and an unfinished saklya. He could not take with him the dream of a happy life. The father's dream became the dream of his children. She went together to earn a piece of bread in the hut of the rich, she helped them endure hunger, warmed them in the winter cold.

Abdurakhman was the eldest in the family, there were also younger brother Hajiali and sister Aymisey. It was 1917, a time of great and complex changes throughout the country and in our republic.

The civil war, famine, cold, devastation and deprivation of 1918–1920 brought much suffering to the Dagestan people as well.

Four years after the death of her father, her mother's brothers married her off, and the little orphans were left in the care of grandfather Amirkhamz, who was forced to move to the unfinished house of his grandchildren and take care of their upbringing.

Amirkhamza's grandfather was distinguished by a tough character and forever quarreled with their mother's brother because he married her to a man of a different kind - tukhum, who had adult children.

Another grief was added to this misfortune, in 1919 Amirkhamz's grandfather died, and the three orphans were left alone with all the problems. In his memoirs, Abdurakhman Daniyalovich writes: “Everything that we had from liveliness was either sold or slaughtered, and in the coming 1920, all three of us lived on the same oatmeal, and even then not in abundance. We began to starve and turned into dystrophics, starvation became an inevitable prospect.

Fortunately, at that time, the young and fragile Soviet government in Dagestan, first of all, showed concern for orphans. And for the first time in the republic in the village of Chokh, in one of the confiscated houses of the rich Mamilov, an orphanage was opened, and in 1920 all the children of the Daniyalovs were assigned to this house for full state support, and that dramatically changed their subsequent life. Here they received food, clothing, shelter and, most importantly, a future. For the first time in many years they were fed meat, wheat bread, they learned what tea, soap, towels, sheets and underwear are. They were surrounded by care and attention, which they did not have even with living parents.

Here Abdurakhman felt the care of the red partisans Murtazali Sagitil and Sharan - Haji Davud, teachers of the orphanage - about himself and all the children, regardless of their nationality. They protected the children from the sons of kulaks, former tsarist officers, who were set against the orphans by their parents.

And all this in exchange for a cold, hungry, half-farm, orphan life in his village under the constant reproaches of relatives. Figuratively speaking, they went from hell to heaven. In a word, it is still unknown what fate would have prepared for him if in the mid-1920s, in an extremely difficult time in all respects, he would not have been placed by people in an orphanage.

Later, recalling his bleak childhood, A.D. Daniyalov wrote: “From distant childhood impressions, even now, as if in reality, I imagine these old cold poor chicken sacks, in which dung smolders in the middle of the room, smoke stretches on stones into a sooty hole in a low-hanging crooked ceiling, and in the evenings splinters crackle anxiously , snatching out with yellow highlights the usual signs of poverty and grief ”In the orphanage, Abdurakhman became the soul of all the children, everywhere he defended them, did not allow them to be offended. And the orphans respected him as a brave and strong boy.

Abdurakhman felt that he was forever indebted and until the end of his life he retained a feeling of deep gratitude to the red partisans and to all the talented and hardworking population of the village of Chokh for the kindness and warmth with which he and other children were surrounded in the orphanage.

With the strengthening of Soviet power in the mountains in 1922, the orphanage from the village of Chokh was transferred to the district center of the Gunib district, the village of Gunib.

The director of the orphanage in Chokh and for several months in Gunib was a certain Patimat Malekova, a wayward woman who received a gymnasium education, she knew her business well, but she forgave her son for his bullying of the children in the orphanage.

She was replaced by Shurshil-Magoma, a young man from the village of Rugudzha, who turned out to be little like an educator and illiterate.

Then Tsurmilov from the village of Shulani was director, who was literate and knew his business, but rarely took care of children.

Tsurmilov was replaced as director by Gadzhi Shakhnazarov, a highly cultured, gentle, modest, sensitive person.

In a word, for the Daniyalovs in Gunib, although these were difficult famine years for the young republic, the orphanage provided everything necessary for hearty, high-quality food, the children were dressed and well-shod.

But all three years in the orphanage, the children learned little, someone knew ajam, and most of the children were illiterate.

In the orphanage there were exactly one hundred boys and girls with one destiny and one road.

In those years, a military unit was stationed in Gunib, the commander of which was the Russian officer Nikitin, tall, blue-eyed, blond, charming and simple. The highlanders treated him with respect, and he, in turn, observed the customs and traditions of the highlanders, he was attentive to the population, especially children.

Every day, the Red Army soldiers had drills on the central square of Gunib, and the orphanage watched them for hours, showing great interest in what was happening. And it is quite natural that they also wanted to march under the flag of their commander. Soon the children themselves began to march, and the commander of the "combat exercises" was Abdurakhman, who did not quite correctly give commands in Russian. Not understanding the meaning, he began to pronounce the first words he had learned in Russian: “one arsh step, right, left, circle” and taught his pupils to repeat the actions of the Red Army. It certainly looked funny and amusing.

Having learned about the imitation of the orphanage, Nikitin singled out a Red Army soldier who took patronage over them, taught Abdurakhman to pronounce the words of the command more or less correctly, and explained the meaning of these words. Soon the children learned everything and carried out their classes with great pleasure, allowed them to participate in demonstrations on the day of the next holiday. After the rally, they marched on the square, followed the Red Army. Commanding the children's team, Abdurakhman took the visor and walked ahead of the orphans, not looking back, trying to keep up with those in front.

There was no confusion. When Abdurakhman was already approaching the podium, on which the surrounded authorities were standing, there was laughter, and a large crowd of participants began to clap their hands. It turned out that Abdurakhman was walking so far ahead of his team that he did not notice that he was more than 20 meters away from them.

Staying in Gunib, communicating with the Red Army helped Abdurakhman learn the basics of the Russian language and the letters of the alphabet.

At the beginning of 1923, the People's Commissariat for Education of the DASSR sent inspector Said Omarov to Gunib to select overgrown children for the Buynaksk highlander boarding school. The director of the orphanage, recommending several children, including Abdurakhman, said: "Daniyalov can speak Russian, he knows the alphabet." Then Said Omarov invited him to the blackboard and said: "Write your name." Then he wrote: "Abdurahman." When the mistake was pointed out to him, he naturally became embarrassed, and the director blushed. In the spring of 1928, Abdurakhman, Gadzhiali Daniyalov, the Sultanov brothers, Patimat Musaeva, a few more people said goodbye to Gunib, accompanied by a Red Army soldier in a military van allocated by Nikitin, arrived in the city of Buynaksk, to the highlanders boarding school, and Patimat Musaeva was assigned to the highlanders boarding school.

Abdurakhman came to the boarding school in everything: boots, overcoat, tunic, Budyonovka, presented to him by the Red Army in Gunib.

With bearing, discipline, consciousness, Abdurakhman really looked like a fighter, his boss. If we add to this his sociability, kindness and justice, it is easy to understand why the choice fell on Abdurakhman, for which the guys chose him as their commander.

Since 1970 - a personal pensioner of allied significance.

Since 1971 - Senior Researcher at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Awards:

Five orders of Lenin (the only holder of five orders of Lenin in Dagestan)

A film about the life path of A. Daniyalov

Separately, it is necessary to dwell on the fact of the direct participation of Abdurakhman Daniyalov in the abolition of the decision already made to evict the Dagestanis in 1944

It will also be interesting that he left his post at exactly the age of 60, having reached retirement age. In fact, disagreeing with the decision to bury radioactive waste in the mountains of Dagestan, he openly declared to the Central Committee - "As a Dagestan, I am against this decision!" Then the decision to retire was made.

Abdurakhman Daniyalov has always been an internationalist, a sincere and kind person, a leader open to people.

Here is an article by Magomed Yakhyaev on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Daniyalov, published in Dagestanskaya Pravda.

An example of selfless service to the people

Abdurakhman Daniyalovich Daniyalov was one of those leaders whose influence was determined not by the power of power, but by the power of personal authority based on vast experience, versatile development, modesty, integrity and decency.

Since May 1956, I was in the nomenclature of the bureau of the regional committee of the CPSU. He was the first secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol, the second and first secretary of the district committee of the party, the chairman of the party commission of the regional committee of the CPSU, the head of the department of the regional committee of the CPSU, the Chairman of the People's Control Committee of the Republic of Dagestan.

Abdurakhman Daniyalov always, even in the most difficult conditions, remained true to himself, his ideological and moral principles: he clearly and consistently fulfilled his duties, with full dedication, competently, creatively, and proactively solved the most important political and socio-economic problems of multinational Dagestan. At the same time, he was invariably guided by the interests of the state and the people. He, a communist of crystal purity, followed this rule all his life.

In the difficult forties during the Great Patriotic War, the political and organizational talent of the young chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of Dagestan, Abdurakhman Daniyalovich Daniyalov, grew stronger and matured. As you know, in those years, due to desertion and draft evasion in the Red Army, Dagestan was on the verge of deportation (eviction). Abdurakhman Daniyalov personally visited the areas where the situation was the most difficult - in Tsuntinsky, Tsumadinsky, Botlikhsky and others, in many settlements, in mountain forests, where deviationists and deserters were hiding, in order to convince people of the erroneousness of their actions, it is possible to express firm confidence in the inevitability of the victory of the Soviet people over the enemy.

The former leaders of the Tsumadinsky district told how bravely Daniyalov rode a horse along the hard-to-reach rocky paths to the place of deployment of draft dodgers, gathered everyone, spoke to them with a fiery speech, spoke about the upcoming possible tragedy for the people of the republic in connection with desertion and evasion from military service. Red Army. Abdurakhman Daniyalovich asked everyone to immediately get together, voluntarily appear at the military registration and enlistment offices and submit applications with a request to be sent to the front to defend the Motherland. As a result of the organizational and educational work he carried out, in 1944 the Decree on the ban on the mobilization of military conscripts from Dagestan into the Red Army was canceled, and many volunteers were sent to the front.

It is known that in 1944 the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was abolished, the people were deported to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other republics of Central Asia. After that, part of the territory of the former CHI ASSR passed to Dagestan, where the population of individual settlements of our republic was resettled.

In 1957, the Decree on the abolition of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was canceled, the autonomous republic was restored, and the inhabitants were allowed to return to their homeland. However, all this was done without adequate preparation for the accommodation of the arrivals, as well as the placement of the Dagestanis in their new place of residence. The ground for a serious conflict arose.

The Central Committee of the CPSU was concerned and alarmed by the explosive situation that had arisen. A large meeting was held in Grozny with the participation of a group of senior officials of the CPSU Central Committee, many heads of interested ministries and departments of the USSR and the RSFSR, headed by Politburo member, Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee P.N. Pos-pelov. The leaders of Dagestan, cities and districts of the former Grozny region, North Ossetia and others were invited to this forum. A participant in this forum, the then first secretary of the Andalal district party committee, Alaudin Abdurakhmanovich Abdurakhmanov, told me about this meeting in detail.

Abdurakhman Daniyalovich Daniyalov, the first secretary of the Dagestan regional committee of the CPSU, a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU, spoke for three hours with a great heartfelt speech, having only two leaves from the loose-leaf calendar in his hands. He stressed that the roots of friendship and brotherhood of the peoples of Dagestan and Chechen-Ingushetia go back thousands of years. Not a single generation knows the confrontation of these peoples, there has never been and today there is no ground for conflict between peoples who have grown deep roots as one family.

In conclusion, a member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU P.N. Pospelov said: “After a comprehensive speech by the Secretary of the Dagestan Regional Committee of the CPSU, A.D. Daniyalov, which provides an exhaustive answer to all the problems that have arisen, I have nothing left to add. This ended the meeting in an exceptionally friendly atmosphere. Cardinal measures were taken to organize those and other peoples.

As you know, after the release of N.S. Khrushchev from the post of First Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the process of disaggregation of the districts was going on. From the position of an instructor of the regional committee, I was recommended for the position of the first secretary of the Gergebil district committee of the CPSU. Naturally, they were invited to a conversation with Abdurakhman Daniyalovich, the conversation was long. First of all, he asked me a question: “Can you rally an asset around you?” and immediately advised him to avoid sycophants and double-dealers. Success in work will be ensured if you find a common language with honest, authoritative, principled people on whom you can rely. It was about leadership.

Abdurakhman Daniyalovich stressed that in order to rally the asset, gain the trust of others, any manager must show a personal example of decency, impeccable objectivity, integrity, the ability to work with people, and organizational skills.

I would like to make one more point from the conversation. Abdurakhman Daniyalovich raised the issue of complaints and statements of people to the party and Soviet bodies. He stressed that without pain in the heart, a person with a complaint will not come. Therefore, visitors should be listened to with great attention to the end, and then, if you can, satisfy his request, if not, clearly explain and convince him of what he is wrong.

It must be emphasized here that Abdurakhman Daniyalovich himself was extremely attentive and accessible to any ordinary person. At the same time, he was always demanding of himself and the leaders of districts, cities and the republic. I will give one small example, but for that time it was a whole state of emergency. A revolver was stolen in the Tabasaran regional police department. At the plenum of the regional party committee, naming this example among many others, Abdurakhman Daniyalovich turned to the Minister of Public Order (as the Ministry of Internal Affairs was then called), General V.F. Razuvanov and said that in such a situation, when a revolver is stolen from police stations, it is impossible to call the Ministry a body for the protection of public order, since it is completely promiscuous. The first secretary of the district committee of the CPSU was severely punished, the chief of police was removed from work, and so on.
What is happening now? Comments are superfluous.

Abdurakhman Daniyalovich was an innate internationalist, he did not divide the leaders into “us” and “them”. He was always equally attentive to the needs and concerns of every people inhabiting Dagestan.

He paid special attention to the Russian people. In numerous reports and speeches, he emphasized the special role of Russia, Russian culture, highly qualified specialists in the life of multinational Dagestan. Not a single area - political, economic or spiritual - can and should not be considered in isolation from Russian culture, from the real and disinterested help of Russian specialists.

Starting from May 1956, I had to take part in almost all Komsomol, party conferences, plenums, meetings of assets, at which Abdurakhman Daniyalovich spoke. The participants of these events were amazed by his high erudition, knowledge of local affairs, literacy, accuracy in wording, clarity of presentation of the material presented.

It was especially interesting to listen to him when he spoke without a text in his hands. He could not stand mediocre, demagogic speeches.

AD Daniyalov paid primary attention to the development of the economy and culture of the republic. As you know, during the Great Patriotic War, the national economy of Dagestan suffered great damage. Abdurakhman Daniyalovich set the task before the party organization of the republic, before the leaders of all levels on the need for a sharp rise in the economy, the creation of normal working and living conditions for the population of Dagestan.

Already in 1947, industrial output in Dagestan reached the pre-war level, and by the end of 1950 it had surpassed it by almost one and a half times. Only during the years of the seven-year plan (1959 - 1965) 35 modern industrial enterprises were built in Dagestan. New branches of industry were created in the republic - electrical engineering, instrument-making, machine-tool building, and chemical. Mechanical engineering and metalworking received accelerated development.
By 1970, the output of mechanical engineering and instrumentation, compared with 1940, increased 20 times.
