metadata.value: The purpose of the article is to analyze basic principles of the Soviet logistics system of supply
  of rocket production branch which enabled to organize production of modern ballistic missiles
  within a short time. This problem is underresearched in historiography as for more than
  half a century archival documents were kept secret. Methodologically, the article is based on
  the theory of modernization. The system of logistics and the system of planning in the Soviet
  economy were closely interconnected. These systems were based on rational planning, which
  required stability. However, missile production developed dynamically, and plans constantly
  changed. It entailed constant administrative control from the government and extraordinary
  measures to provide priority for the supply of missile production. The attempt to centralize
  Soviet supply system under the State Planning Committee did not bring about positive results
  due to the complex organization of the Soviet economy. After the reform of 1957 in the
  country, two logistics system of missile production were created. Production of the advanced
  prototypes of rocketry was provided by the supplying organizations of the State Planning
  Committee of the USSR, whereas serial production was provided by the republican supplying
  organizations. It was difficult for republican State Planning Committees to combine planning
  and constant control over the system of supply. To solve the problem, republican economic
  councils were created in 1960. The supplying organizations were subordinated to them. The
  Soviet supply system was imperfect, but the use of mobilization methods enabled to organize
  production of the modern rocketry.
