Abstract

This article explores the historical and socio-economic implications of the relocation of Russian specialists to industrial enterprises in Tashkent between 1970 and 1975. Drawing on archival sources, statistical data, and scholarly literature, the study examines the strategic motives behind this policy, its role in accelerating industrial development, and its impact on workplace dynamics within the Uzbek SSR. The results show that the transfer significantly boosted technological progress and productivity, particularly in aviation, electronics, and mechanical engineering sectors. However, the influx of non-local specialists also introduced linguistic and cultural barriers, reinforced dependency on external human capital, and contributed to structural inequalities within the labor hierarchy. The findings underscore the dual nature of Soviet regional development policies—technically effective yet socially imbalanced—and provide insights relevant to contemporary debates on labor migration and postcolonial industrial policy in Central Asia.
