Abstract: The researcher reveals in historical retrospective one of the urgent problems on development of industrial complex of the Soviet Far East, related to technical modernization in leading industry sectors (fishery and timber industries as well as nonferrous metallurgy). Crisis developments became especially aggravated by the mid-1980s. Party, Soviet and economic bodies relied not on improvement of economic methods of management but on strengthening planning and labor discipline in production. The economic mechanism was becoming more and more money-losing and insusceptible to technical progress. The transition to a science and technology type manufacturing failed.
