The development of these regions constitutes an important component of the overall task of building the material and technical foundation of communism in the Soviet Union. In recent years, the attention of both scientists and practitioners has been focused on the southern part of Krasnoyarsk Krai. In accordance with the directives of the 24th Congress of the CPSU concerning the Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Soviet National Economy in 1971-1975, a large territorial production complex is planned here, based on the inexpensive hydroelectric power of the Yenisei River and local raw material resources. The Sayan Hydroelectric Power Station, already under construction and designed with an installed capacity of 6.4 million kilowatts, will become the largest hydroelectric station in the world. The resolutions of the 24th Congress of the CPSU also provide for the construction in southern Krasnoyarsk Krai of aluminum and vehicle manufacturing plants, a large steel foundry, nonferrous metal processing enterprises, as well as electrical engineering, light-industry, and food-industry enterprises. The region's favorable climate and fertile soils create conditions for the development of diversified agriculture.In view of these prospects, the study of the natural characteristics of the Minusinsk Basin is of great importance. Without an understanding of the natural environment, rational national economic development is impossible. The study of the landscape and geomorphological conditions of the Minusinsk Basin completed by S. P. Alt is valuable not only from a scientific standpoint but also from a practical one, since it provides insight into a region where extensive economic development will take place in the coming years.
