On the Question of Cadet Participation in the Organization of Fire Fighting in the Ural (1930s — 1940s)
( Pp. 119-125)

The article is devoted to the study of the historical experience of practical training of cadets of the Sverdlovsk Fire-Technical School of the NKVD of the USSR — Sverdlovsk Fire-Technical School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR in the pre-war period, during the Great Patriotic War and in the first post-war years. The purpose of this study was to study the issues of organizing the service of cadets as part of the fire garrison of the city of Sverdlovsk, to analyze specific examples of their direct participation in extinguishing fires, both within the city and in various areas of the Sverdlovsk region and other regions of the Ural region. The authors paid special attention to the problem of combining practical and theoretical training for cadets, the costs of organizing the educational process, and the reasons for the underestimation of theoretical training in the historical period under study.The theoretical basis of the study was the works of domestic, and, above all, Ural historians and specialists in the field of fire protection history.The source base for the authors' research was archival documents stored in the collections of the Documentation Center for Public Organizations of the Sverdlovsk Region, the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk Region and the archive of the Ural Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.The methodological basis of the research was the methods of historicism, content analysis, interdisciplinary approach, as well as such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis.The authors adhere to the concept of the predominance of a technocratic approach in training personnel for the Soviet fire department, determined by the paradigm of industrialization and cultural revolution in the USSR.
