Revisiting the Training of Scientific Personnel in Dagestan in 1950s: A Gender Aspect

The modern rapidly developing world is filled with highly scientific technological discoveries, constantly improving technological equipment. The attention paid by society to the quality of human resources, their experience and knowledge, as well as high qualifications plays an important role. The era of information technology requires an appropriate approach and adaptation of the science personnel potential. This determines the relevance of the research and the importance of understanding and generalizing the Soviet experience in the training of scientific personnel. After all, the high level of training of scientific personnel and a strong scientific school in the Soviet state was the result of ongoing qualitative reforms in the field of science and education. In this context, the creation and further activities of the Dagestan branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, in which the training of scientific personnel began in 1946 is of undoubted scientific and practical interest. The determining factor for the development of Dagestan science was the creation of the Dagestan branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, designed to solve the most complex scientific problems. The branch was formed on the basis of the first institution of science in the Republic, the Dagestan Research Institute, opened back in 1924 in Makhachkala as an integrated, multidisciplinary research center, which took over the functions of organizing survey work in all areas. The main purpose of the research is to highlight various aspects of the training of scientific personnel and the involvement of women in science in 1950s, based on the analysis of a wide range of diverse sources and monographic studies. The article aims to show the formation of the scientific intelligentsia in the Republic and to celebrate the first mountain girls who got the opportunity to study in graduate school for further seeking the degree of Candidate and Doctor of science. Analyzing the available material, the author has come to the conclusion that in Dagestan, the training of scientific personnel among women until the 1950s was practically not carried out. In subsequent years the dynamics changes towards an increase in a number of girls among graduate students.
