Abstract
Introduction. The study examines the main areas of deployment of student construction brigades formed in educational institutions of the Krasnodar Krai and the Stavropol Krai in the period from 1965 to the end of the 1980s. The novelty lies in the fact that at present there are no works in historiography examining this aspect of the activities of construction brigades in the regions under study.
Materials and methods. The main source of the study is the reports on the activities of the regional SСB headquarters, which are in the Center for Documentation of Contemporary History of the Krasnodar Krai, the State Archive of Contemporary History of the Stavropol Krai and the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History. For a more detailed disclosure of the topic, periodicals and memoirs of former participants in mobile student construction brigades are also used. The main research method is historical and comparative. It was used to identify similarities and differences in the development of mobile SCB in the Krasnodar and Stavropol Krai. The historical and genetic method was also used to analyze the development of the movement in a chronological relationship, etc.
Analysis. The work examines how the areas of deployment of student construction brigades formed in educational institutions of the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions changed. The number of brigades working in different republics, territories and regions of the USSR is compared. The share of mobile brigades from the total number of the movement in the studied regions is determined.
Results. The main direction of deployment of student construction brigades of the Krasnodar Krai from 1965 to 1974 was the Kazakh SSR. From 1975 until the cessation of the movement, from 80% to 90% of mobile SСB worked in the Kalinin region. Other regions played a less significant role. At the same time, for the construction brigades of Stavropol, throughout their history, the main direction of deployment was the Kazakh SSR. From 60% to 80% of the total number of mobile SСB worked in the republic annually. Mobile construction brigades of both regions also worked abroad as part of exchange groups.
