Abstract

The article examines the relationship between the tasks facing geologists and the General state of the economy of the USSR and modern Russia. Since the end of the 19th century, geology has moved away from purely historical research of the Earth and is increasingly focused on the search and exploration of minerals and on merging with the mining industry. Given that the territory of the USSR and modern Russia has almost all types of minerals, it is most profitable to use the resources located on its own territory. Hence, the assumption is made that by the tasks that geologists have faced or are facing in Russia, it becomes possible to determine the general vector of development of the economy and society. The purpose of the article is to prove this assumption. For this purpose, we consider periods when the nature of economic development set the vector for the development of geology and extractive industry, as well as when achievements in geology and extractive industry changed the structure of the country's economy. The following indicators will be used as criteria for assessing the state of the geology of Western Siberia: the level of scale and quality of regional geological mapping; the state of the geological education as a response to the needs of the economy.
