Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Annotation. In Soviet Russia, Geology was the most advanced science in the world. After the formation of the USSR, there was a great need for geological research. So, the implementation of the industrialization program directly depended on minerals and raw materials. 25 thousand ore deposits were opened in the Union, including about 2 thousand that became the main pillars of the country's economy. These facts show what a powerful force there was in Soviet Geology. The article reveals the history of the Torlan mountain range in geological terms during the Soviet period. Thanks to the study of Karatau deposits, the Soviet geological school has risen to a new level. Especially in the 1920s and 1930s, new ore deposits were discovered that had not previously been the object of research. The article reveals the Imperial identity in the activities of Russian geologists who came for consideration under special state orders.
