Abstract
The article examines the staff of Siberian telecommunications during the war period. The Great Patriotic War radically changed the personnel structure of the communications – in-experienced and unskilled youth replaced the competent specialists who went to the front. The proportion of women has increased dramatically: many of them have successfully mastered the “male” technical professions, some were promoted to leadership positions. The structure of personnel training and the composition of educational institutions in the industry have changed. Unable to change the situation with the supply of telecommunications on a leftover basis, signalmen, when solving professional problems, looked for a way out in strengthening discipline, tightening control, and also using various forms of socialist competition.
