September 28, 2017, marked the 75th anniversary of the issuance of the Resolution of the State Defense Committee (SDC) On Uranium Mining, which laid the foundation for the Atomic Project, one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the Soviet Union. This article is dedicated to reconstruction of the factors that ensured its successful implementation. The completion of the project is attributed to the late 1950s, but the author focuses on the period from 1945 through 1953. On the one hand, it was then that the scientific, technical, material, and organizational prerequisites for the production of nuclear weapons were created, and, on the other, that time can be called the “golden age of the command economy,” when its capabilities manifested themselves to the full. Turning to it allows one to understand better how the command economy in its classical, Stalinist, version achieved success and what limitations it had.

苏联原子弹计划成功的组成部分

2017 年 9 月 28 日，是《国防委员会关于铀矿开采的决议》颁布 75 周年，为苏联历史上最雄心勃勃的项目之一——原子工程奠定了基础。本文致力于重构确保其成功实施的因素。该项目的完成归功于 1950 年代后期，但作者关注的是 1945 年至 1953 年期间。一方面，当时生产核武器的科学、技术、材料和组织先决条件已创造，另一方面，那个时候可以被称为“指令经济的黄金时代”，当它的能力得到充分体现时。
