Soviet Union [USSR] THE ADMINISTRATION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The administration of civilian science and technology
encompassed policy making, planning, and financing for the
administration of nonmilitary science and technology. Policy making
was primarily the responsibility of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union (CPSU) but also involved various
all-union (see Glossary) governmental organs. At the
all-union level, planning
included the Council of Ministers, the State Committee for Science
and Technology (Gosudarstvennyi komitet po nauke i tekhnike--GKNT),
the Academy of Sciences, and the State Planning Committee
(Gosudarstvennyi planovyi komitet--Gosplan). Below the all-union
level, planning was handled by branch ministries and by republic or
regional academies. Financing involved almost all these
organizations, which worked in conjunction with the Ministry of
Finance
(see Soviet Union USSR - Administrative Organs
, ch. 8).
