metadata.value: The paper analyzes staffing of the Soviet studies of the Arctic islands and archipelagos in 1920–1940 on
  the basis of a complex of archival materials and published sources. The peculiarities of personnel screening,
  training and motivation of scientific expeditions and polar stations are studied. Staffing system, which was formed
  in 1920–1940 period of the staffing system of the national scientific activities in the Arctic, which had not been
  carried out on a regular basis before the Russian revolution. The beginning of the 1920s was characterized by the
  lack of specialized training programs, poor conditions of wintering, low salaries and poor-quality supply of food
  and clothing for polar scientists. The successes of that period were provided mainly by professionalism and enthusiasm
  of experienced researchers — heads of the scientific institutions (R. Samoylovich, V. Vize, N. Matusevich, I. Mesyatsev). In the prewar decade after the establishment of the Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route
  an effective system of the Soviet Arctic research staffing was created. It included the selection and motivation of
  polar explorers through the Communist party, development of special educational programs for researchers, introduction
  of new forms of work organization, benefits and material support for workers beyond the Arctic Circle,
  high social status of Arctic explorers. However, talented scientists and managers along with other polar explorers
  suffered in the result of political repressions of the 1930s, which had a negative impact on the development of the
  Soviet polar scientific school.
