GURYEV REGION IN 1941-1945

The purpose of the article is to describe the production facilities that were relocated from the war-torn areas to Guryev in 1941-1945. Although the socio-economic situation of the Atyrau region during the Great Patriotic War was not comprehensively studied, some of its aspects were reflected to a certain extent in works devoted to the history of the Great Patriotic War. Information about the history of the Great Patriotic War has been recorded in Soviet historiography since the war years, with scientific works and document collections about the cause and effect of this war. In the years of independence, the study of the theme of the Great Patriotic War began to turn into regional issues. The contributions of the republic and the isolated regions to the war and the exploits of individuals began to be studied. Based on them, special historical and literary works and special commemorative books dedicated to the anniversaries of the Victory were published. The article, written based on a new approach, used the data of the state archive of Atyrau region, monographic studies, and document collections of recent years.
