Organization-and-management decision-making in creation of mineral supply in the early 21st century

The article reviews the organizational and managerial decisions on creation of the mineral supply in the first third of the 21st century in Russia, the features of the mineral supply and its role in the mineral security of the country. The analysis of the archival documents reveals the formation stages in the mineral supply. The role of the mineral supply as a tool of satisfying economic needs in mineral resources and energy minerals is shown, including the period of industrialization. The activities of the main sectorial institution—IPM–VIMS—in prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits, quality of raw materials and processing technologies are described. Creation of the mineral supply had a top priority in recovery and faster growth of various sectors of the national economy in the period of industrialization. Creation of the mineral supply used the scientifically sound organizational conception including a project approach and an integrated analysis of mineral deposits. The discussed activities used the governmental support and investment gained in independent and contractual research. As a result of the implemented provisions, by the mid-1930s, the country possessed a grown mineral supply, and the import dependence on some strategic raw materials was eliminated.
