Abstract

The paper gives an analysis of conditions and factors which, during the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945, had determined the heightened attention of the USSR’s Anglo-American allies toward the regions of the Urals and Siberia as the strategic military-industrial base of fighting the aggression of both Nazi Germany and militarist Japan. Specific features of the attitudes of the USA and Great Britain over the role and significance of the Ural-Siberian home front are revealed in regard to formation of the anti-Hitlerite coalition, organization of combat against the aggressive powers and postwar power balance. The analysis is based on positions and estimates of the political establishment, diplomats, and journalists, as well as literature on the Urals and Siberia published in the USA and Great Britain during wartime.
